When I was searching for Onion's website, I ran across these. I have never heard of them, but they have patterns with a bunch of different styles in them. Here is an example: Example of Pattern I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about them?

Here's some more: More patterns

Those sure look interesting. Hopefully one of the girls in Europe can give some information on them.

If they are a well drafted patten the price certainly is good.

Yes I've heard of them and seen them, but never actually used them..
They are danish. They are all wardrobe type patterns with lots of views in each pattern. I've not heard good things about the patterns, though. A friend of mine bought a package and it was all very loose fitting with out any shaping, but that was about 3 years ago, and they might have changed since then.
I always thought that if I sewed more baby clothes, I would get a package from them.

Edited to say: Now I looked at the patterns, and in all fairness it does look like they have changed their style a bit...

Oh gosh, these are really cute! Argh. I might have to try ordering some to try them out. I'll let you know how the ordering process goes. (As my danish is non-existent but the site seems to be in english)

ETA: Maria, I just looked at your wedding site and it's lovely!! What a beautiful wedding.

OK, since I am Impulse Shopper Girl, I just ordered two sets of patterns. I'll let you know how long it takes to arrive and what they're like.

Cost for two sets of patterns plus shipping to the US was about $27.

Funny! I hadn't heard of these until yesterday when I did a search to look at Onion patterns!!! I liked the wardrobe style with multiple options. Hopefully, they have improved fit and style! Let us all know how you like them beangirl....

I got these two:

961

954

ETA: Sorry, just had to laugh at the name of this pattern company. The reason I even looked at this thread in the first place was it looked like "Multi Snit" to me and I just had to see what that was all about.
