Dear friends, it's Christmas Eve and what better time to play a special Yuletide edition of the sewing blogosphere's favorite pattern-naming game, MPB's exclusive NAME THAT PATTERN!
The whole gang is here: Freddy and Willy, Michael and I, and you never know who may drop by -- maybe even Liza and Lorna!
The rules couldn't be easier: I post photos of patterns I've found online, and we give them funny names. You can name all the patterns, or just the ones that inspire you. It's all about having fun.
Since it's Christmas, we have some super-special prizes in store, including a 25% off coupon to Bed, Bath & Beyond with no expiration date!
With no further delay, let's get started:
Presenting, Pattern #1!
Perplexed? No worries -- here's Pattern #2!
But wait, there's more -- feast your eye on Pattern #3!
Now things get challenging. Make room for Pattern #4!
Finally, there's Pattern #5!
But it's ain't over yet -- as always, we have our very special BONUS PATTERN, for those who want to make an extra-good impression on Santa! Here's Pattern #6!!
Readers, I hope you've enjoyed this special Yuletide edition of NAME THAT PATTERN. Even if you don't celebrate the holidays, I hope you'll share the cheer by playing along with us. As always, I'll be contributing my answers, along with Michael, cousin Cathy, and the whole gang here at MPB.
