If you’re new to indie pattern companies, I wanted to give you a kickstart to checking some out. (There are other far more complete indie pattern company roundups out there, just do your best internet search to find them.)
Here’s a quick pick of indie patterns & pattern companies, from the letter A to the letter Z:
A is for the Agnes jersey top by Tilly and the Buttons - I have my pattern cut out, just gotta stitch it up
B is for By Hand London, I want to make their Hannah dress
C is for Chalk & Notch, patterns for women & children
D is for Deer and Doe, patterns for women in a range of sizes
E is for Emerald Erin, for bralettes and boyshorts
