The Sew Weekly Sewing Circle

Ugliest Pattern Ever Contest

From the discussion over here, I can tell you ladies love talking about ugly patterns! Since it's so much fun, let's make it a contest: In this thread, post an image of the ugliest pattern envelope you can find. I'll pick the winner based on my completely objective tastes. The winner will receive a definitely non-ugly pattern from my stash (I'll hopefully have the right size for you).

Get going and let's see some heinous patterns!

I'd have pictures taken of me striding about the house in it.

Wow, some of these are heinous (the roller-skating...the wide skirt-pants...that lacy jumpsuit...THING from the 80s!), LOL, but here's my entry! 

 

Came in a box of vintage patterns I picked up at a yard sale. This is, to say the least, NOT my favourite...trying to unload it as "The World's Ugliest" in my AF shop. I'm SHOCKED to have no bites.

This makes me laugh as I just bought a romper pattern off the McCall's website! Wooo rompers :)  We'll see how disastrous mine turns out :)  I'm digging those overalls - meow!

LOL I just can't imagine what a fitting nightmare this would be, at least the long pants version. The short one is kinda cute. But that model in her dock shoes and that screaming red...It cracks me up!

I remember having some shocking pink dungarees in my (late) teens and thought I was the bees knees!

I think the shorts version is cute too, not at all practical when it comes to visiting the restroom but whatever! The pants, not so much!

I'm actually really into this pattern and am looking forward to using it. But, it's probably the ugliest pattern I have (I've only started my stash). And that plaid jumpsuit is just... just... it makes me feel itchy and overheated thinking about the polyester.

I really have to laugh, I went off to work this morning thinking these are some ugly patterns, it can't get worse, but it did. I come home and find more! Reading all your comments is so hysterical! Thank you for the Thursday therapy session!

 I have to confess.  See the blue jumpsuit with the red pockets..ooooh bad..Well.. when I learned to sew ,many years ago..  I bought a  pattern that was a dress but it looked like this jumpsuit [only  a dress]. Well, I bought some pink and purple broadcloth and I did the dress in one color and the pockets in the other color... Oh..was it a NIGHTMARE!!!!   Yes..... You guessed it...it went to the garbage...ha What could have been wrong with my mind??? to think that would look good?????????/ not sure where my brain was at.haha.

   On another note.... what do ya'll think of the green jumpsuit with those all color socks??? wow!

I'm enjoying the hilarity of that green jumpsuit with the multicolored socks/tights.
