Free sewing pattern

Many people want to know where they can find a free sewing pattern. Here are some suggestions to help you find a free sewing pattern (or, at least, one that is very inexpensive).

• Friends and family – if your friend or sister made a beautiful dress, ask to borrow the pattern. This can be especially beneficial since the person whom you are borrowing the pattern from has already made the garment and can therefore answer questions you might have. Make sure that this free sewing pattern is the right size, though, before you get started.

• The attic, thrift stores, garage sales – while not all of these places will have totally free sewing patterns, many will have some for very low prices. Before buying anything, make sure that all of the pieces of the pattern are in the envelope. You can find some very retro patterns (and even some retro fabrics) that can become excellent style statements of this decade.

• The Internet – there are actually many free sewing patterns available online. You need only to look. Of course, most of these free sewing patterns are for smaller projects – dog clothes, doll clothes, etc. It can be difficult to print out a woman-sized dressed pattern on 8 by 11 pieces of paper!

• Yourself – why not come up with your very own ideas? Some of the very best free sewing patterns are the ones that you create yourself. You can even take a few different older patterns and mix and match them to create your very own, unique project (a stuffed polar bear with a lions head and monkey’s tail, a dress turned into a layered skirt, etc.).
