Today is a very big day for me: the Mara pattern is released! What a special moment! I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a very long time. Hopefully you did too? Here we go!
The Mara blouse is a feminine blouse for girls with a touch of vintage. With several sleeve & dress options the perfect pattern for endless sewing fun!
The pattern includes:
- Sizes: 1y, 18 months, 2y, 3y, 4y, 5y, 6y, 7y, 8y, 9y, 10y
- Three sleeve patterns are included: butterfly, flutter or long sleeves. The flutter sleeve & long sleeve can also be combined. Sleeveless is of course also an option. So you have 5 sleeve options in total!
- Two tutorials to easily adjust the blouse to a basic A-line dress or a gathered skirt dress. Detailed drawings will guide you through this process. It’s really easy, so I’m sure you will manage to do so!
The pattern can be bought here on my blog, by clicking the ‘add to cart’ button under the main pattern image above. The price is 7 euro or approximately 9 dollar. Since I’m a Belgian based company I prefer to sell in euros. Therefore the price in dollar may vary of course.

The pattern includes all sleeve options like mentioned above. The pattern doesn’t include the dress options. I wrote two very detailed tutorials that will guide you through drawing your own dress version perfectly. This way you can adjust the pattern to a basic A-line dress & a gathered skirt dress.
Here are some versions I made to give you an idea of the possibilities of the pattern.
The pattern is a PDF file, easy to print (on A4 or letter size paper) and to assemble. The instructions contain easy-to-follow instructions with step by step pictures. The measurements are both provided in centimeters and inches.
22 seamstresses have intensively tested the pattern to make sure the fit is perfect! That’s just so important to me… I can’t stress enough how important this phase of the pattern design process is. Thanks a lot pattern testers!
The pattern is named after a river in Maramures, the Mara I mustn’t explain you anymore that releasing this first pattern will always remind me of the great time we had in Romania!
No pattern launch of course without a pattern tour, right?
Make sure to check out all this beautiful blogs the coming week. I can assure you that their creations are just perfect!
All pattern tour participants will give away one pattern so make sure to visit their blogs! Starting with Doguincho today!
Just a little note: you can already buy your pattern and still participate the give away. If you bought a pattern and win it after wards, I’ll refund your money!
If you have any questions about the pattern, just contact me. I’ll be happy to hear from you.

Bought it!! Know i have to find the time to make it :)
Congratulaions marte!! Such a gorgeous pattern. I love it!!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful pattern, Marte!
I hope you liked my version…
Oh wat een prachtige versie is deze Mara-jurk van Doguincho!
Ik heb vorig weekend een tweede versie op mijn blog gezet, waar ik een kleine wijziging aan de panden deed om kamsnaps te kunnen gebruiken! Deze kamsnaps vind ik interessant voor een winterse versie, dan kan er een onderhemdje onder zonder dat het komt ‘piepen’!
Vele groetjes!
Saskia
Jouw nieuwe versie is geweldig! Ik vind het idee dan Mara en Jacob een stel vormen echt super cute. Marte
Congratulations! This is definitely on my to-do list :)
Congrats Marte!

I love this blouse. I wish it were my size. So cute!

Proficiat en succes!
(had ik een dochter dan kocht ik het zo)
This looks so very practical. And I’m loving the way you have given us lots of different ideas with the different blogs linking up with their versions. It was through this that I discovered your blog and pattern. I’m looking forward to trying it out.
Wauw…..wat een prachtige versie!
Voila se, mijn eerste Mara Blouse is een feit! Echt super patroontje!

Beste, zou je dit ook in een volwassen maat kunnen vinden of maken? Alvast bedankt!
Ziet er echt heel erg mooi uit!
Groeten, daisy
Hey Daisy, dit is enkel een kinderpatroon, maar ik sluit niet uit dat er in de toekomst wel een volwassenen versie van komt. Maar zal niet snel zijn. Hou de blog in de gaten zou ik zeggen! Groetjes, Marte
