After my first win, I felt a surge of confidence. I realised that I might actually be pretty good at sewing and could make it through a few more episodes. I was all set and excited for the next challenge – Holiday week.

As usual, we all gathered at the hotel the day before filming, catching up on what we’ve been up to and what we expected for the upcoming challenge. The first task was to make a pair of palazzo pants. I had never made these before, but I was up for the challenge. Many of my fellow contestants chose fabrics with large prints to show off their pattern matching skills.
