Alright, alright. Here’s the deal on this Monday morning….liZ and I can NOT decide which pattern is the winner of the first (but definitely not last) Ugly Pattern Challenge.
So, we are now asking you to decide. We finally narrowed it down to five and through all of our fits of laughter we can’t come up with a winner. You take a look and then vote at the poll at the bottom of the post. WE HAVE TO CROWN THE ULTIMATE UGLY PATTERN WINNER!
#1–Carmencita B’s 80’s Angles
#2–Karamiel’s Pocket Delights
#3–Sewing Momma’s A Mustache and a Cheetah
#4–Anne’s Antics’ Balloonimals
#5–Mommy’s Apron Strings’ Polyester, Perms and Plaid
Sooooo….those are your choices, vote on which one you think should be the winner of our first ever Ugly Pattern contest.
We have loved this little series and want it to be a regular event over here at Simple Simon so start searching for more “ugly” patterns because we’ll be bringing this back in the fall for some more awesome vintage crazy goodness!
Now before we turn you loose to vote we need to announce a few winners of past giveaways…
First of all we forgot to announce the winner’s of Honeybear Lane’s puff quilt patterns! (Oops!) And those winners are:
Brenna
Ash
Sandra
Laurel
and
Amanda
And last but not least we need announce the winner of our box of vintage goodness.
And the winner of that is: Kristie, who said “Such a fun giveaway. I love making updated versions of vintage patterns. I made a hat in the style of the San Diego Hat Company using a boys’ baseball hat pattern from the early 80’s. Who knew? Thanks!”
Thank you to all of you for entering our contests, for leaving comments, for following our blogs and for being our friends. We really do appreciate all of you!
We really do.
No go and vote for some ugly!
Is it really bad that I totally want the Balloonimals pattern?
This is too funny!!
oh my goodness those are the funniest patterns ever!
I can’t vote yet–need more time to look (or look away). I’m thinking number two and three are the scariest right now. I see #5 as just good ol’ 70’s fashion. But should a half naked man with a moustache really get the award when there is so much work that went into the “Pocket Delights” pattern? I would trip and hurt myself trying to get into that outfit! Hmmmm?
Now you see why we put up a poll–we can’t decide either!

Looking at number 4 makes me hear ‘can’t touch this . . . Dadadadadadadah! Can’t touch this ‘
No way I can decide…..HILARIOUS!! I thought I knew when I saw Pocket Delight but then I saw A Mustache and a Cheetah…..
Wow! Tough choices! I has to be the pocket autrosity. Though, the dude in cheetah undies…. I have no words. Thanks for making me laugh this morning. 🙂
Oh wow. Wow. Of course cheetah man is disturbing but a favorite. And those poses on the 80’s Angles are killing me. You can just see them saying, “Like, this outfit is totally awesome!” I’m not sure I can vote! 🙂
I want to see what you will do with it!!!

OK I have decided. (Yes, reposting–sad) but I want to say the Baloonimals looks like a revamp of the “Snuggie”. You know the big blanket outfit you wear everywhere? Well, the commercial suggests you can wear it about anywhere. It’s almost like someone gave the Snuggie pattern to Baloonimals and told them to make it look more “fashionable”. Thanks for the fun ladies! Can’t wait until the next round.
Oh boy, that was one tough choice. It has to go to the pocket delights. The disparity between upper and lower body proportions is just too fantastic!
Oh my goodness. The beach ball pregnancy suit has me about peeing my pants.
You have some real winners or losers as the case may be!! I had to go with Pockets Delight because that cover photo is hideous!! This series has been so fun! Thanks for the laughs!!
Okay there is some SERIOUS Ugly here.. LOL!!! But I am however with Cathgrace that Balloonimals is almost a bit on the potentially Cute side 🙂 This is going to be a very DIFFICULT Vote 😉

This is like trying to pick out a drink at Quick Trip, too many enticing choices! That couch potato uniform is fabulous!
Wow! What an amazing collection of ugly you have there. I had to vote for the pockets of doom. I could picture some options with the other patterns but the pocket one made my brain hurt 🙂
wow.
just.
wow.
i went through all my patterns… and frankly, most of them, especially after seeing some of the revamps, well… they’re not really all that bad….
but damn….
the pregnant romper… firstly uh, yeah. and secondly… what about when she has to PEE???
and the dude. in the underpants… *shudder*
1972 called. it wants its porn star back.
MAS’s could be used with a silk knit to make long johns. silk long johns are VERY nice in the winter and those lines would be perfect I’m thinking…
carmecita’s.. yeah. wow. you could technically still alter those bottoms and get.. yeap. pj pants out of them…. And maybe make that top close in more than one place, some slight alterations and a lenthen it… robe… still pjs…
which leaves me at the monstrosity in the middle.
i honestly cannot think of ANYTHING to do with that.
it brings to mind Multiples. Remember those? Knit layering pieces with 7 foot sleeves that bunched at your wrists and tube tops for belts.
for several years I looked like a color blocked ninja. *giggle*

There is no way I can vote for just one. I choose them all–there is just no way to choose one!
The Ballonimals is bad, but that looks more like home wear. Draft it for a child, passable. 80s Angels and Pockets that was meant to be worn out by older women. Irredeemable even when made for a little girl.
Definitely #4 wins my vote!!!
I cant vote as they are all fantastic. I am loving this series!! Keep up the greagt work.
I must be getting old. #3 totally reminds me of Magnum PI and he was HOT HOT HOT!! LOL! I voted for #2 — what is happening w/that picture?
