Episode 2

Celebrating the needlework and thrift craft skills of the girls and women of the Ards peninsula, the designers take on sustainability fashion challenges using pre-loved garments.

Presenter Claire McCollum welcomes the four young designers back to the design studio to face more fashion challenges inspired by the needlework and thrift craft of the girls and women in the Ulster-Scots heartland of the Ards Peninsula.

Celebrating sustainability in fashion, the designers must first turn pre-loved men鈥檚 shirts into a dress fit for the catwalk, before taking on the six-hour challenge inspired by Ulster鈥檚 long tradition of delicate Ayrshire whitework, delicate embroidery, upcycling and patchwork quilting.

Once again, the designers will have to impress judges Katie Larmour and Una Rodden with their ambitious design skills, technical abilities and in how they have drawn inspiration from the women of the Ards peninsula in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
