About.com Sewing - this amazing resource is almost overwhelming. I've used this website to find tutorials and patterns.
|
Amy Butler - I'm a fan of her fabric (funky designs) but she also has some free patterns on her website. I love looking through the pictures on her inspiration link!
|
| Blue Bird Studio - very cute headband. The only change I made was pressing the ends up 1/4" before step 2. |
| Checker Distributors - a lot of free small project and quilt patterns from this wholesale distributor; click on each company to get a list of their freebies (including pictures). They may take a loooong time to download! |
Craft Elf - some good stuff here, including simple projects.
|
| Coats and Clark - plenty of free projects including accessories, home decor, and seasonal. |

Heather Bailey - some good free patterns including headbands, pincushions, quilts, and more. It's a busy website, so look to the right and scroll down. These are only for home use!
|
| JoAnn Fabrics - Lots of different ideas. |
J. Caroline Creative - Wonderful, wonderful free patterns, projects, and how-to's. I've taken their general ideas and made them my own. I LOVE their idea to make fabric-covered magnets using the button kits! I embroidered (small) letters and made sets of personalized magnets for my friends.

KWIK Sew - a can cozy and a clutch purse. I made the can cozy but I think this is the pattern that my printer didn't print to full size, so I had to make some printer changes before I printed it. Check measurements. I then made some adjustments so the back fabric comes around the top of the front fabric so it almost looks like piping is at the top and the bottom. I did this with a compass (see, sewing is math!) by making the front fabric an inch smaller ( 1/2" smaller to top and bottom) than the back. Play with it, though... if I get my act together, my local coffee shop wants to sell them. They are cute when embroidered.
