This week we're sharing our round up of patterns, fabrics, tutorials and ideas from fashion icons week on the Sewing Bee series 9, the quarter final no less! The pattern challenge was to make a fitted, sexy evening dress reminiscent of the dress Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's, which required precision sewing from the Bees and the ability to master the burrito method for turning one of the lined pieces through.

Check out the links below for the patterns and fabrics you could use to recreate the look and also my top tips for sewing with slippery fabrics, like the satin many of the Bees chose, and also my step by step, easy to understand tutorial on how to sew the burrito method. This technique is not only useful for the piece on the dress the Sewing Bees created, but also great for lining shirt and blouse yokes.

The made to measure task required the Bees to make a smoking jacket and use their tailoring skills. Below I've linked the patterns and fabrics you could use to sew up a smokin' hot jacket, but I've also included some tailoring tutorials and top tips/haberdashery you can use to achieve a really professional finish.
