Temperatures in much of the United States have been anything but spring-like lately. Our furnace went out while the polar vortex was taking a detour through Virginia! Talk about crummy timing. But I enjoyed watching your spring pattern challenge entries roll in while wrapped in a blanket and three layers of clothing.<\/p>\n

Entrants sewed up one (or more) of our new spring patterns,\u00a0the Kensington Knit Skirt<\/a>, the Montauk Trousers<\/a> and\u00a0Belgravia Knit Dress<\/a>.\u00a0Today we’ve rounded up the contest entries for your viewing pleasure and inspiration.<\/p>\n

Seeing all your Montauk Trousers really makes me want to sew myself a few pairs for the season. You can dress them up or down, or turn them into shorts using this tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Top row, left to right: @macaronquilts<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0(who made both a pair of trousers and a pair of shorts) and @pikosew<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Middle row, left to right: @virginiadare1914<\/span><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0@madelouisville<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and @zuziwan<\/a>\u00a0(the latter two both completed a pattern trifecta by sewing up all three new patterns).<\/span><\/p>\n

Bottom row, left to right: @mariajsanroman<\/a>, @cottoneyedjane<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and @mountaincraftystyle1<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You guys made some lovely things and I wish everyone could be a winner! By random drawing, the contest winner was @melukyla<\/a> for her Kensington Knit Skirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
