Where Are All Those Free Craft Patterns?  |
|
 I love to sew, knit, quilt, cook, make scrapbooks and bake along with many other hobbies. In todays society, there is no longer a need to purchase patterns for your hobbies. There are many sites that offer free patterns. Provo Craft is a commercial company that makes alot of craft supplies from fancy sissors for scrapbooking to crafing paper and everything in between. They have an online site that is available for free with lots of free patterns. The patterns are listed in these catagories:
Scrapbooking
Paper crafting
Kids
Home Decor
Crafts
They also have the patterns listed by the product used. For example:
Knifty knitter
PC Tools
and many more
They also list the degree of knowledge that is required to make the craft. For instance, the directions for the "grow older with me" scrapbook is for intermediate level of skill. It will take you 120 minutes to complete this project. It can be found here:
http://www.provocraft.com/projects/projects.php?prdindex=sizzix&dsp=project&idnum=164
Each pattern has a link to download a printable copy of the pattern.
The main page is found here:
http://www.provocraft.com/projects/index.php
You will find the weekly freatured projects on this page. Click on the links on the left to find other project patterns.

1.  western_valleygirl (750) | 3 years ago |  That is interesting, I am not that great of a crafter, but I really hope to be. There are a few things that I do want to try, so I am going to see the sites that you recommended...really, I just wanted to comment so that I could say that I like your new avatar, that is the cutest dog ever. Oh, the first thing I want to learn to do is make faux-flower, and arrangements...do you think they have anything there?

| 4. Debs_place (6721) | 3 years ago |  I am so glad that the companies are jumping on the internet bandwagon.
I remember some years back reading about a compnay that busted an internet group for exchanging patterns via the group. The aveage age of the ladies was something like 73, all of them were on a fixed income and basically were trying to make do with what they had.
What aggravates me are places like limewire, where you can download anything and everything for free and people think it is legal.
Come on, microsoft office, music, movies, how can yo believe that and then they get upset when they realize tey got a virus from the files they downloaded.

| villageanne (5888) | 3 years ago | I am constantly amazed at how money can make some people just go crazy. Companies are not going to loose anything by having patterns online. There are still many people who are going to buy them. I
I stay away from sites like that. I dont want a virus and i try to be honest in all my dealings. Breaking copyright lawas is not honest | |

 bwrattybaby (5233) | 3 years ago |  Thanks for sharing Debs_place. for free files I always go to www.freewarefiles.com it is a great place and they test these products and they don't download anything that is not good to download. No virus,etc. I know that limewire is a bad thing to download off them. I wouldn't mention a site that I didn't trust.
