NAME THAT PATTERN - Spring 2014 Edition!



Friends throughout the world, it's time once again to play the sewing blogosphere's favorite pattern-naming game, NAME THAT PATTERN!

I've chosen a rare group of highly collectable patterns on the Internet.  (Please note: These are NOT in my possession so I cannot send them to you no matter how badly you may want them.  They can be purchased on Etsy for a song, however.)

The rules are simple: I post a pattern, you give it a name.  We have some amazing prizes in store for our winner, including a six-month supply of Singer sewing machine oil!

All right, contestants, on your mark, get set....NAME THAT PATTERN!

Here's Pattern #1!

 

Next up, Pattern #2!



Still with us?  Give a warm welcome to Pattern #3!



If you lived through the Eighties, you may remember Pattern #4!



Finally, we wind down with Pattern #5!

 

BUT WAIT: We have a special (ADULTS ONLY) bonus pattern for our overachievers: Pattern #6!
 


Friends, I hope you've enjoyed this edition of NAME THAT PATTERN.

As always, to be eligible for our grand prize, you must name all the above patterns.  If you can only name one or two, however, please do -- we could all use the laughs.

I'll be playing too, of course, and so will Michael (or else).

Don't delay, folks: jump in and Name that pattern!

    I made two dozen of the view E jester hats (bells extra) after people saw the one I'd made for my husband. So little work for the money. I can vouch that view A makes you a ringer for the Statue of Liberty (I only made one of those for obvious reasons)

      There are many good names for these patterns suggested by your readers. The patterns reminded me of all of the reasons I don't sew for other people.
      1. "We need thirty of these for the church bazaar"
      2. "You can just scale this up for my six bridesmaids."
      3. "Yes, the christening is in two weeks and the baby is six months old and 18 pounds."
      4. "Do you think this will make me look thinner?"
      5. "Could you lead a beginners sewing class for our Girl Scout troop? They want to make the purses."
      6. "Can you monogram these too? Just like in the picture."
