Readers, it's a show business truism that you should leave them wanting more.
That's why today marks the official kick-off of MPB's exclusive Name That Pattern game's farewell tour. We've had so much fun together over the years -- good clean fun -- laughing at some of the wackiest sewing patterns ever printed. It might be time to leave while we're still on top.
By now you know the rules: I post photos of patterns I've found online and you give them funny names. For our Farewell Tour kick-off, we have some amazing prizes, including six pairs of Cher's used false eyelashes, three Sally Hansen nail tips, and one broken MAC lipstick.
With no further delay, let's get started.
Put your hands together for PATTERN #1!
Speechless? Meet PATTERN #2!
But wait, there's more: here's PATTERN #3!
Can anything top -- no pun intended -- PATTERN #4?
Alas, we're coming to the end of our game; let's give a warm welcome to PATTERN #5!
But wait -- we have our BONUS PATTERN, for those who just can't get enough. Presenting PATTERN #6!
Ready to play? Get on your marks, get set, Name That Pattern! (Maybe for the last time...or maybe not.)
