In week one, judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young challenge the sewers to prove their ability to create shape. First up, the Pattern Challenge sees them crafting a tie-front blouse, using gathers to add volume.

Next, in the 90-minute Transformation Challenge, circle skirts are reimagined into brand new garments.
Finally, the Made-to-Measure challenge tests their skills with pleats as they design a perfectly shaped dress. Read our essential guided to pleats and all the pattern choices!
