@Liminal witch 🧙♀️ Sarah I don't know of a marketplace, but I can recommend at least one indie designer and a couple other hopefully useful websites
the one indie designer I've bought (and actually sewn¹ :D ) more pattern from is scroop patterns / the dreamstress, who is not in the US (she's in NZ), and sells directly from her site scrooppatterns.com/ of course that's just a handful of specific looks
There is another indie I've bought something from, Liz Haywood from AU, but she sells via etsy. :(
Then there is freesewing.org/ (free as in #freeSoftWear) that aren't traditional patterns, but made-to-measure ones and work in a bit of a different way. They have published freesewing.org/blog/us-and-eu/ on the topic of getting away from the US, and are here on the fediverse.
And lastly I follow a blog (the author is in the UK) that does reviews of free patterns: many are from the websites of indie designers (other from bigger sites) and may be a good source for additional sources of patterns.
¹ they aren't a lot because I enjoy drafting my own patterns

in reply to Liminal witch 🧙♀️ Sarah • • •Asked my wife and she doesn't know a marketplace, but buys from a few sellers. She suggests
- ellieandmac.com/pages/about-el…
- pattydoo.de/en (mostly in German however)
- stylearc.com/
She mostly buys pdf patterns and then does magic with a projector. Honestly, pure magic...
