Sew Cheap: Free Patterns

There is an absolute abundance of free patterns and sewing tutorials online. They vary in type, quality, size range and ease of access. Free patterns are often basic wardrobe fillers and are a great way to keep the cost of sewing down. I've already sewn quite a few free patterns for myself and also for Tim and other family members.These include, but are not limited to:

1. Colette Sorbetto Top: Very popular multi sized pattern with instructions and room for customisations. Great basic summer blouse. See my 6 versions and review here. 
2. Skirt As Top Scoop Tee: One-size (small) knit tee pattern with instructions. My version & review. This is a great beginner project for those new to stretch fabric (like me!).
3. By Hand London Polly Top: Multi sized sweet sleeveless top. I look forward to making another version as my last is little big. BHL have also posted variations on this pattern.
4. Simplicity Unisex Easy PJ Pants: I made these up for Tim for a birthday gift last year. They are a good fit, but next time I would lower the waistband. I will be making some for myself this winter.

So, I've made myself a sewing/blogging goal this year:
Make 12 new-to-me free patterns during 2014, one for each month, and review them here.
To get myself started I wanted to post some of the patterns I am considering making up and others I would like to make if I could just learn to grade a pattern properly or sew stretch fabrics. I haven't yet planned enough patterns to get me through the year, so if you know of something special pass it on and I'll add it to the list!

1. Teach Me Fashion Two Tone Singlet: A floaty boxy 2 tone top released by a new-to-me designer with complementary you tube videos.

2. Dixie DIY Hot Coco Sweater: One size only knit jumper with a hi-low hem. Hopefully by winter I'll be ready to tackle knits again (eek!)

3. Colette Madeleine Bloomers: Multi-size bloomers. These will be a pair of PJ shorts for me. 

4. Honigdesign Garden Party Dress: A multi-size dress with sleeve, hem and collar variations. THIS is the future make I am most excited about! It looks like a great winter OR summer dress depending on the variation and fabric.

5. The Selfish Seamstress Coffee Date Dress: A lovely multi size dress pattern. The only reason I haven't already made this up is because it doesn't include  seam allowances. Time to suck it up and start sewing!

6. House of Pinheiro Brasilia Dress: What a beautiful dress! However, it's one size only. I am hoping that I'm up to learning how to grade it out later in the year. I know it would be worth it!

7. Tilly and the Buttons Bow Belt: This is more of a tutorial than a pattern, but I'm including it anyway!

8. Marfy Free Patterns: This is actually three patterns, a skirt, jacket and a blouse. Going off the sketches none of them really appeal to me. However there is a sew-along going on over at a challenging sew so I'm hoping it will spark my interests. 

9. By Hand London Circle Skirt App: This totally counts! The BHL girls are taking the math out of drafting your own circle skirt pattern for FREE. Both free of cost and free of stressful calculations. 

10.Tilly and the Buttons Picnic Skirt: Tutorial for a button front gathered skirt. 

11. So,Zo...Panties and Camisole: I'm being optimistic in thinking I'll be able to sew these and other knit projects. Worth a shot!

Updates:
12. Deer & Doe Plantain t-shirt: Thanks Renee for suggesting this one! It's multi sized 3/4 sleeve scoop neck tee. I'll definitely be making this one up!
13. Pattern Runway Easy Gathered Skirt: Thanks to Mel (a.k.a Miss Piggy) for this suggestion. Looks like a fun, flirty and easy make for later in the year.

Have I missed anything?

Lastly, I must say a huge thank you to the bloggers and designers who make free sewing patterns available. The Colette Sorbetto Top was my first 'real' hand made garment and now I'm coo-coo about sewing! That free pattern was just the thing I needed to get started with my sewing. Thanks!
