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 Tippi 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.
