Happy National Grouch Day everybody!
It seems only appropriate that we celebrate this special day by playing a grouchy round of the sewing blogosphere's favorite pattern naming game, NAME THAT PATTERN.
Now, I'm not a grouch myself, but many home sewers can be -- especially when your thread nests or you break a needle on your flat-felled seams. But even if you're never a grouch, I do hope you'll play with us today.
The rules are simple: I post photos of patterns I find online, you give them names. You can name all or just some of the patterns below, but to be declared our winner, you must name them all.
We have some incredible prizes in store today, including an 16 oz. bottle of Chanel's newest perfume, Eau d'Ebola.
With no further delay, Here's pattern #1!
Still breathing? Here's Pattern #2!
On a completely different note, here's Pattern #3!
Something for the boys: Pattern #4!
Finally, there's Pattern #5!
But wait -- as with every edition of NAME THAT PATTERN, we have a bonus pattern for those who need extra credit.
And here it is: Pattern #6!
Grouches-and-those-who-love-them, I do hope you've enjoyed this latest edition of NAME THAT PATTERN. As always, I'll be sharing my answers, and with any luck, so will Michael and my cousin Cathy.
On your marks, get set, NAME THAT PATTERN!
