where can i find free sewing patterns for clothes?

Question

i am looking for free sewing patterns for clothes that i can make for myself like cute dresses or tops. where do you think i can find them?

Answer 1

I don't know any free ones, but Jo-Ann fabrics will have great styles, and manyof their patterns are 99 cents, even though it says more on the envelope. Plus if you get on their mailing list you get coupons to make it even cheaper.

Answer 2

I have never seen patterns for free, plus if you did find them online, the paper to print them out and the time to tape the pieces together would take most of your time. For a tiny price, try resale shops or thrift stores and garage sales, typically patterns are 10-30 cents. You can find them almost every month at Joanns, for 98cents. on sale. Try a easy pattern to start with.
Here is an alternative.. and IT IS FREE... look thru your closet and find something that you just love, that really fits well, (or maybe is only a bit snug, and perhaps it is badly stained. Take a seam ripper or a razor blade and take the pieces apart. marking them with a marker as you go. If you are making slacks or a shirt, you can get by with only doing 1/2 of the garment, just remember to make it on the fold or double.. When you purchase the material, buy the same type of fabric, so it will fit. Take into account that if you are cutting out a shirt out of tee shirt material it is stretchy, and will not fit the same way cut out of satin, which has no stretch. This is a great way to get good fitting clothes, really cheap.

Answer 3

PrintSew has a few free ones to download. I haven't tried them though -- and you will have to tape the paper together -- which by the time you print it all may be more expensive than buying a sale pattern -- but it could be worth a try.
the Burda website has them too

Just do a google search of free sewing patterns and you will find lots of good ideas

Answer 4

There is a website with some really cute, simple patterns that are free. They also offer some for sale, though they are really reasonable....fitzpatterns.com is where you will want to go. I've made a few things from their website, and my fave is the tube top (I shirred the center top to give it shape and added halter straps). The only thing is that you have to print out the patterns out on 8X11 paper and tile them together with a glue stick. The wrap skirt pattern is lovely too. Good luck!!

Answer 5

With free clothing patterns, you get what you paid for. If you want "cute," buy a pattern at the fabric store or online. You can get discounted patterns by ordering direct from the manufacturer online at www.mccallpattern.com or www.butterick.com.

Answer 6

Look no further than Burdastyle. It's Burda patterns site for free PDF download sewing patterns. It's right here: http://www.burdastyle.com/ I made the "Maddy" top and I really like it.

Answer 7

there are lots of groups on-line that swap patterns. Some even post pictures of the clothing item they made from each particular pattern so you can see it in it's final state.

Answer 8

you can get on the sale list at joanns fabrics and get patterns for like 2 dollars on sale, they would be the best way to go, free isnt always best, our public library back in indiana had a section of patterns that sewers swapped, leave one and take one. you might check your public library.

Answer 9

I like girls in jeans. It creates them look more home town like and it generally does not look like they are trying too much but if you are trying to get this guys attention, this may not be what you want

Answer 10

I really do enjoy putting on long skirts occasionally. They are simply actually more comfortable than Skinny jeans rather than as hot to wear also.
