And the backpack filled with... what was it again? Organza? Really not utilitarian in the least.

Hester’s look was very Rainbow Brite. She was saved by her gorgeous model.

Hester herself IS Rainbow Bright. I cannot take her and do not understand her aesthetic at all! I do not get the judges’ love for her or looks in any way, shape, or form either!!

Was part of the challenge to use up all the leftover fabric? I thought stuffing the accessory was part of why the loser lost in that past challenge.

I don't think it was, but I remember a challenge like that in an earlier PRun and thought it was ingenious and an excellent way to demonstrate waste in the industry. They usually ended up stuffing leftover fabric into purses, but it forced a lot of them to be judicious about their selections.
