Inside: My complete list of the best free sewing patterns for kids. This list is dedicated to free sewing patterns that work for summer weather. check out all the categories below. {updated 3/25}
In the past I wrote a new list of free sewing patterns for kids each spring/summer…. I’ve got five previous lists with loads of amazing summer patterns. However, since it’s been years of these some of those links were no longer working AND I felt like it was hard to navigate through all the posts. Now I just try to keep this one post updated each year and add new links. I also removed any bad links, so hopefully this is a current, working list.

Sheila Robson says

Kathleen Anne Johnson says
Wow!! What a selection of amazing patterns!!
Your site is my go to place now, I love it!!
Sheila Robson says
Thank you Emily. I’m going to compare with my lists and see if you missed anything. I think I have all of these, at least the ones that still fit my grandkids. I’m now always on the lookout for sizes that go bup to 18 (sine the grandchildren are nearly all all, but too skinny for dult patterns. I’ll let you know, but it will take a while!
As you’ve mentioned, one of the problems is that some web sites die (or becomes positively dangerous) – I’m always having to up date my lists. A couple of my absolute favourites have gone, but luckily I already have the pattern.
And sadly, sometimes people that offered a free pattern to attract visitors have started charging for them. I always like to be able to try a free pattern before paying out for one, so I’m sure they miss out!
