Episode 7

BBC One - The Great British Sewing Bee, Series 9, Episode 7

It's Week 7, and the sewers go back to the 90s.

It's Week 7, and we’re going back to the 90s with cargo pants, 90s icon fancy dress and body-skimming supermodel dresses.

A place in the quarter-final is at stake, and this week host Sara Pascoe takes the sewers on a trip down memory lane to the 1990s.  
 	
First up, in the Pattern Challenge, the sewers are asked to make the 90s' most popular trousers – cargo pants. Loved by hip-hop musicians and British girl bands alike, these trousers involve grappling with unfamiliar bellows pockets and a fly zip.

For the Transformation Challenge, the sewers take household textiles and rustle up a 90s celebrity-themed fancy dress outfit. 
 
Finally, in the Made-to-Measure Challenge, the sewers take on the legendary supermodel dress. These bodycon and body-skimming dresses summed up the glamour and decadence of the decade. Who will make it into the quarter-final, and who will take a tumble on the catwalk?
