By Jeff Long | Season 10 | Episode 11 | Aired on 09.27.2012
Sonjia shows them her blazer. Elena interviews that she loves Sonjia's jacket. Heidi tells Sonjia that the pants for the suit shouldn't be "old man." Should anything really? Clothes-wise, at least? Maybe cardigans. Heidi suggests to Sonjia that there be more detailing so that the buyer feels that she's getting more design for her buck.
Christopher has put together a white three-quarter sleeve jacket for the Tim and Heidi to see. He explains that Nancy was very specific about all elements of the jacket, including the white, which Tim feels is impractical. Heidi says "Why not?" and says that certainly it's something that you would throw in the washer after one wear, but it may still have a place in the line. Melissa comments that the jacket is similar to the one that she designed a few challenges back. She says "Don't be stealing my stuff." OK, Melissa, he probably sewed half of that for you so forgive him for creating something a little similar. Christopher is toying with the idea of adding some flower notions to the back of the jacket and Heidi wonders why he doesn't make a whole skirt with flowers. He says that it's a cool idea. Christopher seems like a smart enough guy to realize that someone just sort of handed an idea to him.
Melissa shows them the leggings that she made and, lo and behold, there's already some similar leggings in the collection. Who's a copycat now? She says that she is going to make a denim jacket with a hood, but she seems really unsure now. Heidi asks her what the "fun fact" is in the outfit. She doesn't really have an answer. Dmitry says that it looks like she's in real trouble. Heidi says that there's not much design in her look.
Heidi says that there is now a twist in the challenge. They have to create a companion look for the mom's to wear. Boo. Tim says that they will have the whole next day to work, so that's good. They also emphasize that the baby look is the main focus of the challenge. They'll go to Mood in a little bit, but they still have to take the dolls.
Melissa is not sure what she's going to do. Sonjia starts to sketch something! She's learning to sketch! Elena is not happy about having to make a new look. Tim comes in and everybody packs up their babies. At Mood, Tim reminds them that the challenge is about the baby look. He says that they shouldn't worry about pleasing the mother like she's a client. She's there to accompany the baby. Christopher grabs an Oscar de la Renta print. Melissa reminds herself to not have a baby. Elena asks Swatch the Mood mascot why he can't be her baby.
