BBC One - The Great British Sewing Bee, Series 8, Episode 3

The sewers make dresses for summer week, outfits from hammocks and trousered co-ords.

It’s summer week, and the sewers make light and airy outfits, including a summer dress, a creation from old hammocks and a two-piece trouser co-ord for a man or a woman.

The ten remaining home sewers create light and airy outfits for summer week. Patrick and Esme kick off with a pattern for a high fashion shirred midi dress with puff sleeves. The sewers are put to the test sewing with elastic to create a romantic and dreamy day dress.

In the Transformation Challenge, there’s no hanging about as they’re given just 90 minutes to turn garden hammocks into summer garments.  Finally, the sewers must make a two-piece co-ordinated trousered outfit for having fun in the sun. Who will impress and win Garment of the Week, and who will become the third sewer to leave the competition?

The Great British Sewing Bee: Series 8

Sara Pascoe hosts as 12 talented home sewers create beautiful garments.
