We must ask, “are we having fun yet?!?!”
We are in the second half of the “Flip this Pattern” series…..and, it’s still a lot of fun!
Three fantastic guest contributors {Jo, Sally, and Suzanne} and some sew-along creations showed the endless possibilities for sewing the Shwin Designs, #9 Trousers.
Wow, at the inspiration popping up all over the blogging community!!
We gave our dad the month “off” from choosing “Father’s Fantastic Five” from the sew-along entries! He hopes to return in 2014 to select some more of his favorites each and every month for the remainder of the series!!
As for the other winners?!?! Participating bloggers in the sew-along entries didn’t make it easy for the judges!!

Creativity / Originality of Design
Quality of the garment sewn
Wearability
Overall appeal of the outfit
*Some of these participants included tutorials for their “flip,” but again – this wasn’t a prerequisite for entering. VERY HELPFUL {and generous of them}, but not a necessity!
The sew-along winner was Angie of Edith and Eloise with her Corduroy Boyfriend Trousers.
The judges stated:
*I’m a sucker for corduroy, but the adjustable waistband that ties into a bow is ingenious and darling! They’re like business casual drawstring pants…
*These are so adorable! You had me at the bow! I love the polka dot lining and how they slim down at the ankle! Very modern twist on an already cute pant!
* Great fit. Like the sash through the buttonhole.
