Episode 5

It’s Week Five of The Great British Sewing Bee, and this time the sewers are celebrating India with Nehru jackets, calico and Madras fabrics, and garments inspired by saris.

The ten remaining sewers celebrate fashion and textiles from India. Kiell Smith-Bynoe and judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young are joined by a special guest judge, Priya Khanchandani.

The Pattern Challenge takes inspiration from the jacket popularised by the first prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru.

In the Transformation, the sewers are challenged to make an outfit from two fabrics originating in India, calico and Madras cotton.

Finally, for the Made to Measure the sewers create evening wear taking inspiration from elements of the sari.
