The contestants are tested on the three core fabrics in a dressmaker's cupboard: cotton, wool and silk.

The contestants are tested on their ability to match and combine patterned fabric, with a challenging pleated skirt.

The contestants are given a surprise pattern for a pair of leggings, and must turn a T-shirt into a completely new garment.

The contestants must make clothes on a miniature scale, from children's clothes through to fancy dress outfits.

The six home sewers are set three challenges which require them to handle some of the most difficult fabrics to sew with.

The five remaining sewers take on a 1930s-themed quarter-final using old-fashioned techniques and machines.

The four remaining sewers face three challenges - none of which permit a pattern for guidance.

The three finalists enter the sewing room for the very last time. Who will be the winner?
