2018 Halloween Costume Contest :: The Winners!

November 2, 2018

Hi friends!  It’s me, Katy, your Halloween-loving Pirate Crew Member!  And I’m here to announce the winners of this year’s Halloween Costume Contest.

We asked our fellow sewists to share their costume creations from this year — and you can see the entire album in our P4P Facebook Group HERE.  They were all amazing and I couldn’t help but pick a few winners, instead of just one.  Because how do you really choose from all of these incredible feats of creativity?

No automatic alt text available.

I almost chose everyone as a winner.  But that’s not allowed, so here are the top three that stood out to me:

Simply Robo-dorable: Erika Tatiana Maldonado
Her Rosie Robot was created using almost only Patterns for Pirates patterns: Relaxed Raglan, Wiggle Skirt, & Peg Leg Leggings.

The Ghost With the Most: Cecsalea Shae Buhles‎
This adorable mini-Beetlejuice was created using the Lumberjack Shirt, Yo Ho Henley, Little Loungers patterns.

Image may contain: 1 person, standing, stripes and outdoor

How Delightfully Tragic: Taryn Renae‎
I love a good family ensemble!  Tish Addams was brought to life by Taryn using the Wiggle Dress.

Image may contain: 5 people, people smiling, people standing and outdoor

Thank you so much to everyone that shared their creations with us!  I can’t wait to see what next year brings!

P4P Raglan Week: Jolly Roger Raglan Update + Add-Ons Release!

September 19, 2016

Welcome to the first day of the P4P Raglan Week!  It’s looking like you are just as excited as we are!  Let’s get the party started with Day 1: the Jolly Roger Raglan update + Jolly Roger Raglan Add-On pattern release!

raglan-week-day1

Let’s talk the Jolly Roger Raglan update first!  It’s one of the most tried and true patterns for kids in the Pattern for Pirates family, and we did a little tweaking to make it even better.  First, we added the layers feature!  We also gave the entire tutorial and pattern an overall facelift to make sure everything was perfect from neckband to hem and everything in between.

14425408_10102913036683023_4848683499498318168_o

img_7894

We have also adjusted the angle of the raglan-sleeve to better match the style of our two women’s raglans (the Relaxed Raglan and the Slim Fit Raglan).  Our testers went through several rounds of the sleeve being adjusted before we all agreed on the fit.  I think you will all love it too!

**If you already own the Jolly Roger Raglan, you will not need to re-purchase to get the updates.  If you bought here (PatternsforPirates.com) or on the Craftsy store, you will simply need to sign into your account and re-download the file.  If your purchase was via Etsy, email [email protected] (WITH PROOF OF PURCHASE) and you will get an updated file.


Now let’s talk the highly requested Add-On Pack for the Jolly Roger Raglan!  You are going to love it so much!  **You must own the Patterns for Pirates Jolly Roger Raglan as well, since this is an add-on and not a stand-alone pattern.

14311484_10102912545716923_6741414687456728065_o

The Add-On Pack is full of super fun options:

  • Two hood types (traditional and cross-over funnel hoods)
