Maria blouse, shirt and dress pattern
The Maria blouse pattern has been updated to include more options: it now has a dress view and a bishop sleeve. The Maria is the essential pattern that every girl needs to have in her wardrobe. With several interchangeable options, it will fit perfectly with skirts, pants, leggings, shorts, pinafores, overalls, under a cardigan, etc.
This will be your go-to pattern, to make all year round. Features include:
2 collars: Peter Pan or ruffle
2 body options: shirt or bodice with gathered bottom
4 sleeves: long, short, puff and ruffle
Front placket with buttons
Slightly fitted body

This pattern is one of my most sewn ones for my daughter, and I love seeing her grow in photos of her in the different versions of the pattern from since she was 6 years old until now (that she is 11). This goes to show how you can use one sewing pattern for years as your child grows up.
And here are the testers' photos:

"I had so much fun sewing this dress! My daughter loves the ruffle collar and enjoyed looking at the options to select the collar, sleeves, and skirt length that suited her personality. She has already asked me to make it for her again with different fabrics."
