Free Kimono Top Pattern From Maria Denmark, Sewing Indie Month

This post should have been done last Thursday as it is really a Thrifty Thursday post. At the moment I feel that if I ever get caught up with everything I have going on, well, it will be a very happy moment!
A couple of weeks ago I did a post on the free patterns that are offered by the pattern companies who are participating in Sewing Indie Month. I have not had a chance to try all of them out, but I can say that all that I have tried, I've been very pleased with and that now includes the Kirsten Kimono T-Shirt pattern from MariaDenmark.

It's a very nice, basic t-shirt pattern, and super easy to make.

I made only 2 small alterations to the pattern, I took up the side seam at the waist probably a good inch,

and I lowered the neckline about 2". I lowered the neckline at center front and I also took off about 1/2" at the shoulders. I tapered my line back to nothing at center back, so the neckline was not lowered at center back.

I think you can see how my neckline is a little more open than it would have been if I had followed the original neckline of the pattern.

Because the lines are so basic, this is a great pattern for hacking, actually, the sky is the limit as far as design possibilities go. You can find the pattern here, http://blog.mariadenmark.com/?p=875 You will need to sign up for the newsletter in order to receive the pattern. Maria is not at all intrusive. I think that since I signed up, I've only received 2 newsletter emails from her. So jump on over and pick up a pattern for yourself. The last day to  post on the Sewing Indie Month contest is Wednesday, June 4th. So there's a little time left...but not much!!!!!
