The quarter-final sees the five remaining sewers make garments inspired by divas past and present. From Elton to Mariah, this week’s theme is most definitely fabulous. \n\nFor the Pattern Challenge, judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young take Tina Turner’s iconic fringed dress as inspiration and challenge the sewers to create their own versions with multiple layers of fringing. \n\nThe Transformation Challenge envisages the diva on their day off, still fabulous but this time slipping into something more comfortable in animal print.\n\nFinally, in the Made to Measure, the sewers get to choose a stage outfit for their favourite diva. From Beyoncé to Lady Gaga, the sewers have all bases covered when it comes to stage presence.
