About this episode

This week James and Jo discuss the third episode of The Sewing Bee season 9 where the contestants are tasked with creating garments that celebrate West African fashion and fabrics. Nigerian fashion designer Banke Kaku, joins Esme and Patrick as a guest judge to assess the quality and creativeness of each garment. To start off, a Ghanaian batakari must be made from handwoven strips of deboya fabric. For this week's transformation, the contestants must drape hand-dyed adire fabric to create a unique and imaginative garment. Finally, the contestants were tasked with creating a show-stopping boubou, a wide-sleeved, airy garment worn by both men and women in West Africa.

Join us as we discuss the highlights of this episode, and hear what James has taken notes on this week!
