It's time to celebrate another year of PatternReview!!!  Today is November 28th and PatternReview is turning 21!!  It was 21 years ago that PatternReview went live over the internet.  Seems like decades ago.....or maybe just 2.

 

Deepika and I thought it would be fun to have a Party Game this year.  We created a Birthday Bingo Card.  It is a little different than bingo you are used to.

Rules:  Pick the square you want to complete.  You must complete 5 "tasks" in a row either horizontal, vertical or diagonal (the free space will be considered in your five in a row).  The first one to accomplish 5 in a row, must be the first to Comment BINGO! on this Blog Post.  They will be announced the winner, after PR checks to see what they accomplished.   

Prize:  A surprise Birthday Package from PatternReview!!!

 

Bonus prize! 

Lets keep on playing. Along with the first prize winner, we will pick a randomly drawn winner (you must comment with the row/column/diagonal you did and say BINGO to be eligible for the draw. We will announce the winners on Friday, Dec. 2nd. 

 

The Birthday Bingo Game is now closed.

Congratualtions to Pallie, for being our first to acheive Bingo! 

and 

cricketcott for sticking with it and being our random winner!

We checked out your bingo cards and you two are the WINNERS!  Thanks to you and ALL who participated!!!

BINGO! Completed the vertical row at N. Posted in Forums, purchased Merchants and Mills Workaday and added to Stash, checked my Notifications and signed up for a new class (Fear of Sewing). I was thinking of this class and it is on sale. I still have not taken the serger class I signedup for. Always working.

Thank you. I like Alex's suggestion of having cocktails! Anyone want to come up with a drink recipe?

Yes, keep on playing. We might do another prize for a random drawing!

I think we should keep playing! I didn't even know there was a Facebook group or the Daily Digest! I feel like I've been missing out on a lot of things.

WHY is PR promoting social media? I think the beauty of PR is the fact that it is NOT either Instagram or YouTube or ... need I mention any of the others? I feel cut off when members here refer us to their Instagram stuff. At least when referred to a YouTube video I can watch it without having to subscribe to YouTube. Okay, my rant is done. Carry on...

Actually its genius! If someone founds them on YouTube they will come here, if someone finds them in Instagram they will come here. Social media is a way to get discovered by others. Trust me they will come here!

BINGO!!!! And my PDF pattern assembly is the Mitchell Trousers which I'm making a muslin for them this week.

I'm currently sewing these as a display garment where I work, then I'll do all the fitting and make some for myself! I like the idea of the adjustable waist!

First column B. I'm off to play another one!
Deepika replied...(11/29/22 2:22 PM ET)
Yes, I agree, lets keep on playing. Thanks to Laura for posting this. We were chatting last week on what to do special for PR's birthday and came up with a birthday bingo idea to help members discover the many features which don't often get talked about. Glad you are having fun playing.
