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 3/24}
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.
