Each of the contestants were given pattern Butterick 6217 (kindly donated by McCalls Pattern Company) and were asked to choose from a selection of fabrics in the workshop.

Session 1 started with two and half hours of cutting the patterns and fabric pieces out, with some even making a start on some sewing before breaking for a well deserved lunch served in the Cafe at Abakhan The afternoon session consisted of darts, buttonholes and finishing seams before the contestants could head off for an hour of shopping!
