A Year in Indie Patterns October: Maria Denmark Patterns

In October I will be testing MariaDenmark patterns. Maria runs a blog and has been selling and translating Danish patterns (including ONION patterns) through her webshop ShopOnion for some time.

Recently she has started her own pattern line in the Scandinavian tradition of, as she describes it, "simple lines, functional and for everyday wear". If I have counted correctly, she has published ten patterns in her own line so far. One of them, the Kirsten Kimono Tee is a free pattern, when you subscribe to Maria's newsletter.

So, even if you are on a limited pattern sewing budget for October, you can test along with me, using Maria's free pattern.

I particularly like The Edith blouse and dress. As Maria wrote on her blog, the pattern was inspired by a photograph of her grandmother wearing a similar dress in the 1950s.

I also like the versatile Audrey Knit dress. Both patterns come in B-cup and C-cup variations. Excellent!

Do have a look at her patterns either on the ShopOnion site, Craftsy or PatternReview and test along with me!
