Okay, technically they are not free. You may have to sign up for their newsletter. I know quite a few of these designers that they barely send out newsletters. Anyhow, free patterns are usually shared by designers so you can try out their block, how are their instructions, do you like their line drawings… how about designs? Its a great way to try a new designer. Here are ten that are worth downloading.
Etty Camisole by Tammy Handmade - Perfect Camisole pattern to get started with woven fabrics. It has this fun scalloped neckline and you can hack this pattern to your hearts content. I made it in a verylight weight Lyocell Denim fabric and did French seams on the side seams for a finished look. Tammy created a sew along on her You Tube Channel.
Pleated Skirt Pattern - Peppermint Magazine - We know all about those pleated skirts. Yes, I wore one during my high school years but this one is actually quite fun. It has side pockets and smaller pleats on the front and back of the skirt. See the line drawing below.
No. 00 DanMark - How to Do Fashion - Love this top with the cowl neckline and the website shows you all the ways you can hack it. Sign up for their newsletter.
Tilda Blouse by Maison Fauvre - I will not get tired of this pattern. Its already downloaded, printed and ready to go. I’m looking for an eyelet fabric or perhaps I may use a cotton lawn that I’ve had for quite some time.
Sandstone Shift Dress - Salt Lake City Sewcity - This dress was released last year. I’m surprised more people didn’t know about it. It goes up to size 32. Perfect for the summer. Dress it up with a cardigan and scrappy heels or just wear it with sandals.
By the way, do go check out Salt Lake City Sewcity. Delaney the owner has some great fabrics at reasonable prices. She also has in house classes and if you follow her on Instagram she shares sew alongs on her stories.
Simplicity Clutch Purse - Thru The Foldline - A great pattern to have for those canvas fabric scrap busters. I can see making gifts for everyone in the family with this one.
Mandy Boat Tee -Tessuti Fabrics - There are quite a few t shirt patterns out there. Here is another one courtesy of Tessuti Fabrics down under. Don’t care for a boat neck? Closet Core Patterns has a free pattern, Deer and Doe has one too, and lastly True Bias released a free t-shirt pattern with their overalls pattern release.
Blooma Tank Pattern - Paradise Patterns - I’ve talked about this one, so many times. The Blooma Tank. Paradise Patterns just graded all of their patterns to be size inclusive. The designer actually grades patterns for other indie designers.
