One way to support the Ukrainian people is to sew with Ukraine. You can patronize Ukrainian-owned shops via Etsy. Although mail service has been disrupted, purchasing PDF downloads of sewing and crafting patterns is an effective way to help Ukrainian artists and families.

Unlike our usual Pattern Roundups that focus on specific patterns, this list includes links to the shops. Visit these Ukrainian-owned online shops to see their entire selection of patterns.

Factorem Imago

Tatyana’s shop has some adorable patterns for women, including dresses, jumpsuits, and tops. The size range is on the small side, and the patterns don’t come with sewing instructions, so you’ll need to have basic to intermediate sewing skills. Online reviews indicate that Tatyana, the designer, is responsive and helpful if you reach out with questions.

Yulia’s patterns for women’s and children’s aprons are as cute as they are practical. With few seams, these designs are ideal for sewing in big, bold prints. And speaking of big and bold, take a look at the pockets—they are waiting to be filled with art tools, cooking implements, packets of seeds, or anything you need for your favorite messy hobby. The patterns get great reviews, and buying them is a chance to support a shop in Kyiv.
