Each year, the Single Pattern Contest challenges creative, sewing, and crafting skills by choosing one pattern as the basis for your creativity! The object of the competition is to create a one-of-a-kind creation using this pattern. Some adjustments or changes to the pattern are allowed as long as the end product reflects the original pattern.

Norwescon is excited to announce the patterns for this year’s Single Pattern Contest: Simplicity 4795 (S4795) or 4797 (S4797), the child-sized version of the same pattern, by Andrea Schewe. They are very simple “nativity” costumes, but could be creatively made into many other things, including fairies, Elves, and other denizens of the Wylde. The only required piece is one of the four tunic variations, and as many or as few of the over-robes and accessory pieces as the contestant desires.
Competition awards will include, but are not limited to, best workmanship, best use of convention theme, and best in competition. Awards will be given out during the masquerade half-time.
The patterns can be purchased from Simplicity or at your local fabric store.
