Announcing the Seattle Worldcon 2025 Single Pattern Contest!

Gentlefolk, start your sewing machines! Seattle Worldcon 2025 is proud to announce it is hosting a Single Pattern Contest! This year there will be two options for patterns:

• A vintage-style bowling shirt
• A 60s-style slip or sheath dress

In some years, a pattern selected for a single pattern contest has gone out of print or been difficult to locate, so a garment style rather than specific pattern number will avoid that difficulty. If you prefer a pattern, however, here are some suggested patterns:

Bowling Shirt: McCalls M7206* (available as PDF), Simplicity S9279, Simplicity S9157, Vogue V1622, (unisex), McCalls M8459, McCalls M6972.
