The Great British Sewing Bee

Episode 3 (3x3)

Air date: Feb 19, 2015

Claudia Winkleman takes the eight remaining contestants back to the 1950s, when home sewing was at its height, with the first challenge involving following one of the biggest-selling dress patterns of that era. Next they are given a vintage item to transform into a wearable garment, before making a 1950s blouse out of an unforgiving sheer fabric. Judges May Martin from the Women's Institute and Savile Row designer Patrick Grant then decide who will leave the competition.
