Free Sewing Patterns - Over 2000! Welcome to the Free Sewing Patterns & Projects section at SewingSupport.com! Providing easy access to over 4,500 of the best free sewing patterns online (many with printable templates). And organized by category so you can easily find the sewing projects you’re looking for. How this section came about: I saw that there were tons of amazing free sewing patterns and tutorials out there on the web (especially from quite a few very talented craft and sewing bloggers) but many of these patterns were scattered and couldn't easily be found through doing a quick Google search. So I decided to gather as many of these patterns as I could find and put them "all in one place," so to speak. And because bloggers and sewers are out there creating and posting new sewing projects all the time, I'm constantly updating the pages in this section, adding new patterns as I find them. Happy sewing!
Steampunk FFS Fang costume HANDKERCHIEF SKIRT A handkerchief pointed-hem skirt is flattering to all, but especially for short-legged people because the points break up that horizontal hemline. No pattern is needed to make this skirt style. It is a simple block layout. One easy way to get that effect is to hem two squares of fashion fabric, each having four points (called a “handkerchief” hem) and layer them for an eight-pointed look. You will need: 2 ½ yds. of fashion fabric, 45″ wide1 yd. of waist band elastic, 1″ wideCoordinating thread10 yds. of flat ribbon braid (optional) The size of the circular opening should be just big enough to pull over your hips, and can then be tightened with elastic. Cut 2 squares of fabric doubled the finished length. Place template in center of square and trace out. * TIP: Increase or decrease the circle by 1/8″ to change the overall total circumference measurement by 1/2″. Like this: Like Loading...
Tied Comforter With Faux Piping I wish the pictures could illustrate how cozy soft and lofty this blanket turned out. The lightweight blanket for the backing and one layer of batting give it the perfect weight for a comforter, and I used bias tape for an easy way to mimic piping, so easy. I know I say that all the time, but I think I am always surprised at how quick these types of things come together! I spent a week thinking it was going to take ages, but once I finally sat down to do it, I had the blanket cut and assembled while my kids were taking their naps, and finished off with the ties when they went to bed that night. Can’t beat that! Here is how to do it: I am not going to supply measurements as I made this for an Ikea extendable bed, which is not standard. Supplies: Cutting: I cut off the selvage on the two yards of fabric and that was it, if you are making your blanket bigger just prepare your fabric to the size you need. Now get out the bias tape. Now carefully turn it right side out through the opening.

Hot Packs These are great hot compresses that you just stick in the microwave for 60 seconds! So easy to make and you can be sure there aren’t any scary chemicals inside. My mother and Boo are responsible for this tutorial….I just took the photos for them! It’s the perfect use for those cute baby legwarmers your kiddo might have grown out of. All you need is white rice (or buckwheat if you prefer), long socks or baby leg warmers. needle and thread, and some essential oils: If you are using long socks you can cut the foot off or just skip this step. It’s such an easy sewing project a 4-year-old can do it: Here’s the closed end: Fill a measuring cup with white rice: Fill the sock or legwarmer to the top with rice: If you want to use essential oils, make sure you use pure, therapeutic-grade oils. Sew up the other end of the sock or legwarmer so the rice is completely enclosed. To heat the hot pack just put in the microwave for about a minute. P.S.
Tumbler Skirt Tutorial I came up with the Tumbler Skirt. First, I want to show you how I cut the tumbler blocks. The light in my kitchen was awful that day, so excuse the crap-tacular photos. Then I gave it a quick press with the iron. My tumbler die looks like this: I’m going to place my fabric right on top of the outline you can see vaguely. Then I put my cutting mat on top. The verdict on cutting 6 layers of fabric at once? If you want to make your own Tumbler Skirt, you’ll need to measure the waist of the intended wearer, and round up to the nearest multiple of 3”. You’ll need double that number for your 2nd tier. You’ll need double the 2nd tier number for your 3rd tier. And so on and so on and so on. My top tier was 9 tumblers. Sew the blocks for each tier together (1/4” seams), small sides up. The finished bottom width on each tumbler is 6”, aka double the finished top width. Install your zipper and have the wearer try it on. Have the wearer try it on again. It’s super twirly, too.

Just change the size by reducing or enlarging and modify it to fit into your design. Material you need:1. Print out the PDF pattern of the piggy pillow. Use a pencil and trace the pattern onto the cotton fabric. Sandwich the towels in between 2 fabrics. Sew it up on the sewing line, it can be from sewing machine or hand stitching.

Delusions of Grandeur: DIY Tulle Skirt Tutorial "A store-bought belt can obscure even the sloppiest of home-sewn waistbands." ~Ancient Chinese proverb As promised, here is the tutorial for the tulle skirt I sewed for Thanksgiving! I share this with you along with one major caveat: At no point during the making of this skirt did I actually know what I was doing. Credits: My inspiration for this skirt came from a skirt in Anthro's winter line, and from this Etsy seller. What you'll need (total cost of materials was approximately $30): 1. 2. 3. 4" satin ribbon for waistband. 1 yard. 4. 5. Steps: 1. *Note - pleating each layer individually will result in a very full skirt (like mine). 2. 3. 4. Then, you will sew each layer onto a piece of scrap fabric (I used some of the excess liner fabric) that is the same length as your waist measurement, and is approximately 3" wide. 5. Once your circle skirt liner is sewn, it will look something like this: 6. 7. And voila! .... THE END. ...and should all else fail, I'll just leave these here ...

the quick little bunny tutorial I really wanted to make the sock bunny that Heidi (from My Paper Crane) created, but I didn’t have any of those fantastic red and brown monkey socks. What I do have is baby socks: tons of cute, mismatched, totally useless, never stay on baby socks. Now that my littlest is very much not an infant and too soon will be a toddler it seems kind of silly to keep all those teeny tiny socks. So I made a bunny out of them. And a tutorial too. This is indeed a quick little bunny. Materials: baby socka handful of stuffingheavy duty threadscissors Make that bunny: Before you start sewing take second to look at the sock you have. the body: Take some stuffing and stuff the foot part of the sock–not too tight! the tail: On the top of the bunny’s back, sew a circle about an inch in diameter with a simple running stitch. the head: To make the head, put a little stuffing inside the sock and sew a running stitch around the top of the heel. the ears: Cut a big V shape out of the top of the sock. The attitude:
