Music Week brings three different musical and sartorial genres to the Sewing Bee. Sara Pascoe kicks off the week with a pattern for the parka coat that was adopted by Mod culture in the 1960s. With its classic fishtail vent and complex zip opening and hood, this is a feat of engineering.

Country music is the inspiration for the Transformation Challenge, as the sewers take old denim and turn it into stage gear worthy of Dolly Parton. Finally, the Made to Measure is an homage to David Bowie and his many incarnations. The sewers pay tribute with Bowie-inspired outfits fitted to a model.

The quarter-final takes the sewers back to the golden era of the 1930s. Esme and Patrick set them a Pattern Challenge for a pair of women's sailor-inspired trousers with a complex bib-front button opening and equally tricky pockets.

Then the sewers show off their ability to think on their feet when they are given men's shirts to turn into 1930s women's blouses. Finally, it's time for a touch of Hollywood glamour when they are asked to perfectly fit a bias-cut evening gown reminiscent of outfits worn by Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis.
