As it is the first episode of Series 2, all eight sewers worked with the three 'core' fabrics cotton, wool and silk to complete the week's challenges.
Garment 1: Cotton shell[]
The first garment of the series is a simple sleeveless ladies' top in a cotton fabric of the sewer's choice. The sewers were given two and a half hours to complete it in. It includes elements such as darts, understitched facing, and hand-sewn loops.
May and Patrick looked for clean lines and a flat neckline in this garment, as well as the quality of the contestants' hand sewing.
