You went down the rabbit hole! I have found free patterns on pinterist but it does take time and patience as you found out. I follow a few sewing vloggers that will post the free patterns they have found. Very helpful!
I like some vintage, because what was once old is new. Styles abmnd trends repeat (to some extent). I would like a vintage dress pattern with a good design structure and make some modern updates such as fabric and notions.
I've printed off mask patterns, and patterns for small stuffed animals. Things that actually fit on a page. The scanned images of line drawing patterns from Russia absolutely abound on pintrest. I feel like even if I could read Russian, or the google translate could do an adequate job translating sewing terminology, I would still need to have spent the last 25 years sewing with Mom and Grandma to understand what one is supposed to be doing with the drawings. They're so tempting though. These tiny little nuggets of information that feel nearly comprehensible.
Yeah you have to be at least at 303 sewist at least, to be able to pull one of those plain design patterns off the internet and make it into a wearable item. I've done it before but it does take a lot of work! The experience you gain from mishing and mashing all of it together is priceless though! Cheers
After going through the Vintage Pattern Wiki's clickbait claim of 83,500 free patterns, I enjoyed going through the Pinterest claims as well. If you enjoy all things sewing patterns, check out this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLaG2bBTXx7U74Wmx6LkyCC1NVgw6a1PqU
You missed Vera Venus! This site has several printable, free vintage inspired patterns. I say inspired because they were designed by the site owner in recent years, but they are 100% accurate to the time period she designed for. Because these are a labor of love, most are single size - but anyone used to working with vintage paper has probably learned how to resize patterns. If you are interested, I suggest you download anything you like ... Jeanne has not updated the site in a few years, and though I hope she does, I fear the site may disappear.
I have been searching RUclips for free patterns, and now have a list of 28 companies that actually offer them in PDF. I checked them, and they are ok. None of them are vintage, however.
I've found a bunch of "vintage" patterns that are free, printable and modern (that's the reason for the ""). But they weren't on Pinterest and took a fair bit of digging :)
I don't think I will ever print out a pdf pattern and tape it together … just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm in the movie office space holding a bat over a printer in a field after being fired from my job. … So is free ever free?
I've made that bullet bra and it's fantastic! The spiral stitching is easy once you get into a rhythm, and if you wear vintage fashion (50s/60s) it makes the clothes fit and look way better
@@StephanieCanada I can NOT believe I missed that one. I bought all they had in every style... They did NOT have this one. GRRRRR. But our store never got the Gertie border prints *either* so there's that...

REAL PATTERN AND MORE AND THANK YOU FOR THIS MUCH NEEDED INSTRUCTIONS.

I am happy to help! I just hate overblown claims. So anytime I see them I am happy to go diving so that others don’t waste their time.
I just remembered two of the vloggers that post free pattern sites, And Sew On, and Thoughtful Creativity.
Very cool! Thank you for sharing.
please share the links
!!!!
And the bullet bra sew along looks really cool. I'm definitely going to try it. The instructions are hella good.
It really does! I am excited to try it out too!

Right, they are interesting for SURE! I am tempted to try my hand at one soon.

This was so much fun. New subscriber here!
Aww! Hello! I am so glad you enjoyed it and welcome to my tiny corner of the internet.

I've found a bunch of "vintage" patterns that are free, printable and modern (that's the reason for the ""). But they weren't on Pinterest and took a fair bit of digging :)
Nice! I mean I understand why folks want them, but I so love making history when I use a real vintage pattern
@@StephanieCanada I haven't got the cash to get the real ones (yet) :)
Where did you find them? Thank you!
@@Manu-gt5hw All over the place. I don't have a specific link to give you
@@LindaUrsin ohhh was about to ask if you could share the links

Free is never truly free, but some are closer than others.
Yesss the bullet bra going to do that one Just for the fun of It
Let me know how it turns out over on Instagram or Twitter! I would love to see how it makes up.

LOVE THE SHIRT!!!! Fabric where? Please?
Actually a dress a friend of mine made from some Jo-ann's Star Trek fabric a while back.

Check those FB destash groups I do see this print pop up every once in awhile.
I swear it's like looking in the mirror print Pinterest free pattern it's a endless tunnel of hoops and turn
It truly is! And they rarely actually go to a useable page.
I don't like PDF patterns. Have you tried printing a pattern thay has 30 sheets!!!
Funny how the site is not secure
