CHALLENGETransformation Challenge – Cagoule
TIME ALLOWED90 Mins
POSITION4th out of 9

There was a delay in starting this challenge. There was a bit of debate about the drawcords in the cagoules. They were a health and safety hazard apparently and didn’t want the audience at home to make something similar and then strangle their child with a drawcord! In the end Patrick just said to us all to remove any drawcords, and so we did.

I have to say, this was my favourite transformation so far. I managed to create a child’s onesie as per the challenge requirements.

I repurposed the cagoule’s arms into trousers and fashioned a hoodie from the remaining fabric. Adding a touch of fur trim gave it a bit of flair, almost like a Bet Lynch outfit for a child!

The onesie fit well and was practical, but Esme felt it lacked imagination. I mean, how creative can you get with a child’s onesie? Still, finishing 4th out of 9 wasn’t too shabby.
