Episode 6: Episode 6

Summary

It's children's week in the sewing room, with the contestants introducing elements of adaptive fashion as they tackle a pattern for a pair of mini dungarees. The made-to-measure task sees them creating outfits inspired by what their young models want to be when they grow up, ranging from polar explorer to beekeeper to politician, and in the transformation challenge, they repurpose maternity wear into toddler outfits

Jane Rackham

This week’s theme is children’s clothing, which may explain why one of the stitchers dresses up as Toy Story’s Jessie. After a warning from Sara Pascoe not to run with scissors they crack on with an adaptive pattern challenge for dungarees. Guest judge Victoria Jenkins explains how important it is that clothes make self-dressing easier for those with special needs. “I think perfection is over-rated,” says one of them as they survey their slightly messy creation. The big news, which we hear as they’re making costumes inspired by childhood dreams, is not that Esme Young knows Zandra Rhodes, but that Patrick Grant has been to Elton John’s for dinner..
