The Single Pattern Contest is about imagination and wearable art.
Its sometimes serious, sometimes funny, sometimes amazingly detailed
workmanship, sometimes quick inspiration with a bottle of glue, but always its
inspiring.
Basically, the convention pick a pattern (or patterns). Anyone can make
up the pattern anyway they wish. The final garment must at least recognizably
resemble the original pattern.
There are no limits on:
 | Colors...
 | Anything goes from subtle to rainbow from duotone to outrageous |
|
| Fabric...
| Past years have seem every fabric imaginable from shears to quilting,
from wool to cotton, from nylon to linen |
| In fact it doesn't even have to be fabric!
 | More unusual construction materials have included screen, leather,
plastics, and paper. |
|
|
| Keeping the pattern pieces intact...
| Not required.
| Lots more details and appliqué is always a great way to go on the
pieces. |
| Quilting up sections is great. |
| ... but as long as the final outfit is recognizable you can
manipulate the pieces anyway you want. |
|
|
| Your imagination is the limit....
| Having said that... avoid any substance that might rub off or drip off
on someone else... and of course anything truly living or flaming. |
|
| The garments will be shown during the Fashion Show segment of Costume Con
19.
| Multiple outfits may be submitted, but the rule is one outfit, one
body.
| Note: this is at the same time the Future Fashion Show, so if you
need extra bodies these can probably be found. |
|
|
| Contact the show's directors to let them
know you'll need extra models |
| You must be a member of Costume Con
19 to participate.
| There are on-site memberships and supporting memberships. |

"The Patchwork Puzzle Coat"
| By MacPhee Workshops: Pattern number #448. It's
an easy but versatile coat pattern. Or alternately, #449 with the Stained Glass
Variation.
| Note #449 does not include the jacket pattern, only alternate forms
for the blocks. |
|
| E-mail: hmacphee@macpheeworkshop.com |
| Web: www.MacPheeWorkshop.com
| On the MacPhee web site, the
best way to locate the pattern is to go to their on-line catalog and directly do a search for pattern number
#448. (However, they've got a bunch of cool patterns, so browse around
their catalog anyway.) |

"Mixed Media"
Both
patterns can be purchased with either Canadian or US funds.
