Take a garment indicative of today’s fashion (Butterick B5646) and show us how it is the “seed of tomorrow.”
This year, as in years past, we will hold a private judging and an optional fashion show where a fan favorite will be chosen.
If you have any questions please contact Single Pattern Contest coordinator Amy Jarvis through our contact form.
