Sewing Bee Pattern Challenge: Children’s Week

We’re two episodes in and it’s safe to say we’re already hooked to our screens. With an exciting and somewhat challenging first episode last week we were keen to see what the judges would have in store for the contestants in week two. And we were certainly not disappointed!
