The Great British Sewing Bee

It's week eight, and the five remaining sewers take a trip to the movies with three challenges inspired by iconic moments from the silver screen.

For the Pattern Challenge, judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young turn to legendary costume designer Edith Head, a frequent collaborator with Alfred Hitchcock, as they task the sewers with recreating the jacket worn by Tippy Hedren's character in The Birds.

In the Transformation Challenge, the sewers are given red cinema curtains and tiebacks, challenging them to transform these into glamorous outfits fit for a Hollywood party.

Finally, in the Made to Measure, the sewers let their imaginations run wild, designing an outfit for a character from a horror film, where creativity and spookiness come together.

Sara Pascoe welcomes the semi-finalists into the sewing room, and with judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young, sets three 1920s-inspired challenges that will test the sewers' creativity and skill.

First, in the Pattern Challenge, the sewers must recreate iconic plus fours, a staple of 1920s outdoor pursuits, combining practicality and style from the era.

Next, for the Transformation Challenge, the sewers take inspiration from tennis legend Rene Lacoste, inventor of the polo shirt, and are given a selection of polos to turn into modern, colour-blocked garments.

Finally, in the Made to Measure, it's time to create an outfit for a 1920s party. From the bold fashion of Weimar Berlin to the lively style of swinging Soho, it's time to embrace the revolutionary fashion of this iconic decade.

With only four sewers remaining, one will miss out on a place in the final.

It's the grand finale, and the three finalists are ready to compete for the coveted title of Britain's best amateur sewer.

The judges, Patrick Grant and Esme Young, set three tough challenges to test their skills for one final time.

First up, the sewers are tasked with creating the deceptively complex bias cut slip dress. Precision is key - one mistake in fabric cutting could cost them the chance to continue.

Next, it's time for the Transformation Challenge, where the sewers must demonstrate their creativity by making garments using sheer fabric.

Finally, the sewers tackle the masterful art of trompe l'oeil, creating illusions with fabric to fit their chosen friend or family member. This technique, often seen on the runway, tricks the eye into seeing something unexpected.

Three finalists, three challenges, but only one winner will be crowned the tenth champion of The Great British Sewing Bee.
