NAME THAT PATTERN -- The Farewell Tour


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 tourWe'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!



Friends, I'm so glad you've been able to participate in our Farewell Tour-edition of NAME THAT PATTERN.  It means so much to me given all we've been through together.  As always, you're welcome to give names to any of the above patterns, but only those who name all six patterns are eligible to win our top prizes.  I'll be playing along, as will Michael and perhaps some very special guests.

Ready to play?  Get on your marks, get set, Name That Pattern!  (Maybe for the last time...or maybe not.)
