Series 8: Episode 1
Sara Pascoe welcomes 12 of Britain’s most talented home sewers into the sewing room, which is in an historic woollen mill on the outskirts of Leeds. Week One sees judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young ask them to create a capsule wardrobe consisting of three items. \n\nFirst, for the Pattern Challenge, they must produce a wool mini skirt with piped patch pockets. For the Transformation Challenge, the task is to turn lockdown loungewear into a going-out top for an adult, and in the Made to Measure, the sewers must perfectly fit a wrap dress to their model. \n\nOne sewer gets off to a flying start, being awarded Garment of the Week, while another’s hopes are dashed as they become the first to be sent home.
