Free Patterns?

I just got a sewing machine after not having one for over ten years! I am so excited. Can you guys help me with some resources for free patterns?

Thank you.

Congrats on the new sewing machine! What did you get?

I like going to Craftster Community - Index It is filled with all types of projects and tutorials.

Here are some other websites that might help:
Free Sewing Projects

FreePatterns.com - Visitors - Free Sewing Patterns for Craft Projects and Christmas Gifts


Enjoy your new machine! Make sure to come back and share your projects with us

Thank you ladies so very much!!! It's an old Singer I guess about 10-15 yrs old. I took it to the Sewing Machine shop in town. He told me it looked like it had been sitting somewhere for a while (it had in my neighbor's laundry room in a big pile of stuff) so he fixed it up tuned it up oiled it up whatever those sewing machine do! And now I just need a cabinet or table. Our house is very small and we just got rid of a bunch of old furniture so I literally have to let is sit for a week or two. I am hoping the weather will change I know the yard sale season is late and I am itching to get started.

Thanks for all the pattern resources! I am going to check them out and bookmark them. I also found this great idea in a magazine for making a Gift Wrap station. I am going to make some of these and fill one with supplies and try it in my ebay store and maybe give as gifts.

I am really excited! I cannot wait to get started.

Thanks again ladies!

EDITED

Wow I can't believe some of these pages. You must be either psychic or psychotic (or maybe like me half and half?) because some of the things in these pages are the very things I wanted to make like aprons and tote bags and other stuff.
Mycoupons friends never let me down!

Do share when you get some made. I'd love to see them!

You and me both! I got my machine 18-19 years ago and have YET to get one. It is in dire need of a tune up. I keep in my coat closet on the floor and have to haul it out when I need it. I am so envious of people who have a nice set up in a room designated just for crafts/sewing. Definately one of my goals!

Very cute! I love that it hangs in the closet. I have a similar one that I purchased, but it doesn't hang up and I have a hard time finding a place to store it. I was storing it under the bed, but now it is stuffed full and won't fit under, so it sits on my spare room bed looking stupid!

Check out this shopping bag tutorial-I love this one!

TUTORIAL: Singlet Style Shopping Bag (like the plastic shopping bag)

Cosmopolitan Apron
Wouldn't it be cute to make the pockets into hot pads that velcroed to the apron? Just stick your hands into the pocket, pull forward and voila! Hot pads....

Reversible tote

Flower Patch Quilt

Cloth doll patterns
