I'd like to get into sewing simple clothes like t-shirts and skirts, but I don't want to buy expensive patterns. Are there any good websites or apps where you can download patterns for free? I have a basic sewing machine at home.
There are tons of free resources floating around online! Sites like Wear Dream Craft, Printable Crush, or even specialized YouTube channels have patterns you can download for free, and honestly for basic stuff like t-shirts or simple skirts, it's totally enough to get started. Otherwise, check out Reddit or sewing Facebook groups - people are constantly sharing what they find and their patterns! With a basic machine, you'll be fine - it's actually perfect for experimenting before you invest in more complex patterns.
There are actually quite a few free patterns out there, but you've got to sift through them because some sites are absolute trash with poorly explained patterns or bad quality ones. Sewingiscool, Oliver + S, and Simplicity have decent ones you can download for free, and honestly YouTube is gold for learning the basics - creators show you how to adapt a simple pattern to your actual measurements. For basic t-shirts and skirts, you can also start with paper patterns you find at thrift stores for nothing, then use tutorials to modify them your own way without breaking the bank.
