I think PDF patterns are the most convenient idea ever invented. They are always accessible….which means you can start your project on a whim late at night and unlike traditional paper patterns you can print one copy for every size so that you don’t ruin the original pattern. Here are a few great free patterns I’ve come across including a few of my own downloadable PDF patterns (stuffed frog toy, unisex beret pattern, apron skirt pattern, and the unisex tie pattern)
Check out the gallery of free downloadable PDF patterns! I included a wide range of projects: accessories, gifts, baby and toys. The subtitles are hyperlinked directly to each pattern:

I want to try my hand at sewing so I can start making my girls their own clothes and do other things as well like making curtains and stuff. Never done it before so what things would I need and whats a good decent priced sewing machine?
I have done everything listed to get to the pattern for the vintage hat. It takes me to babble, but then stops. Is there another way I can get this pattern. I need it for my grandson. Thanks so much! Sherri
Hi Sherri. We suggest you contact the owner of the Pattern on their website. Perhaps they can assist, as we have no problem viewing it.
Thank you. -Lisa

How do you actually get the patterns? I do not see the link to the instructions. Sorry if I am over looking it.
Rebekah – click on the photo you want, then click the name under the enlarged photo. This will take you to the correct website to get the PDF.
