It’s week 2, and judges Patrick and Esme have set three challenges inspired by the wide world of sport. \n\nIn the first challenge, the sewers are presented with a pattern for a sportswear staple perfect for the winter months, the half zip fleece. \n\nIn the Transformation Challenge, the sewers face a sticky wicket as they are tasked with creating a whole new outfit from cricket whites and protection. \n\nFinally, in honour of 2024 being an Olympic year, in the Made-to-Measure, the sewers nominate a country and make an outfit for a specific sport fit for an international sporting event.
