The Rag Trade

- Season 1

(1961)

Brenda hides her baby in the workroom. Paddy demands a crèche for the girls' babies. They use some of Fenner's material to make a nappy, and Carole has to model a skirt with a panel missing.

The girls use some of Fenner's material to make a wedding dress for Carole, and he has to make 20 dresses look like 24.

Fenner installs a time-clock. The girls put £5 on a horse named Paddy at 20 to 1.. It wins, but Carole has inadvertently sown the betting slip into a blouse.

Paddy gives Carole a home perm in the workroom and indirectly causes Fenner's permanent crease slacks to end up stiff as boards. The workers have to pretend to be French to get the order.

Carole goes to lunch in a sample dress. The girls have to cover for her, to their own disadvantage.

Fenner installs a vending machine. Lily discovers that it will accept buttons. When the girls receive their pay packets, they find they contain buttons instead of coins.
