Custom-fit pattern contest

What should we draft next?

Send a garment idea for a custom-fit MJTrends pattern. Write it, photograph it, or link it. One winner gets $50 of fabric and a free custom-fit print.

Closes Oct 12, 2026 · 11:59pm ET

The prize

$50 of fabric from the MJTrends site (in-stock, at the listed price) plus one custom-fit pattern print from the current catalog, cut to the winner’s measurements. Shipping of the print follows the usual pattern shipping. This is not a promise that we will draft the submitted idea as a new pattern — though we may, later, if it fits the line.

How to enter

  • One idea is enough. Words, photos, sketches, or a link all count.
  • Original garments only. No licensed characters, logos, or copies of someone else’s pattern.
  • Think in terms of a sewable piece we could grade to custom measurements, using fabric we actually sell.
  • You must be 18 or older. No purchase necessary.
  • Up to three entries per email. One winner.

Submit an idea

We only use this to confirm the entry and to contact the winner. Up to 5 files, 8MB each. JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, or PDF. Pinterest, Drive, Dropbox, a forum post — anything we can open without an account.

Rules, short version

  • Skill contest, not a random drawing. MJTrends staff pick the idea we would most want to sew next.
  • Judging: sewable with our catalog, complete enough to understand, original, useful to more than one customer.
  • Prize has no cash value and is not transferable. Fabric is chosen from in-stock goods at listed prices. We will not invent a discount on full-price goods to stretch the $50.
  • Winner contacted by email. If we do not hear back in 7 days, we pick the next shortlisted entry.
  • Void where prohibited. This is not legal advice; it is how this round will be run.
