Our Tutorials. 52 Free Dress Patterns. Posted on | November 7, 2013 | 19 Comments I’m a firm believer that sewers can never have too many free patterns. With that in mind, here are 52 Free Dress Patterns, divided by style. Keep in mind the categories are not set in stone. With a fancier fabric, a different closure or a change in hem length, a pattern can easily change from fancy to work day to casual. You make the decision. Notes about the patterns are listed for some of the dresses. Patterns from existing dresses require laying out an item of clothing onto fabric, marking it, and cutting out. No pattern needed usually means that the dress is made from a recycled shirt. Drafting instructions means that you will have to make your own pattern, but the designer included all the information needed.

Is Making Your Own Clothes Economical? « Stitch And Boots. Twenty years ago most fabric stores carried a large variety of fashion fabrics so that the home sewer could, without too much effort, make clothes for herself/himself and the family for less expense than buying the same ready made clothes from stores. Since that time most fabric stores have converted themselves into craft stores that carry mostly printed cottons for quilting with much less stock in fashion fabrics.
Another big change is that the price of good fabrics has risen while super cheap ready made clothing discount stores have proliferated to the point where asking if making your own clothes is worth it is a damn good question. I would like to point out that whether it is economically worth your while to sew your own clothes depends on quite a few factors. It is possible to save money sewing your own, but these are the main factors which must be considered: What do you spend on your clothes now? What is your sewing skill level? What fabric resources do you have available to you? Patterns That Fit You - Free Skirt Class. What to do with old jeans, how to make a denim broom skirt, how to make a skirt.
