ARGH!

Anyone know if there are ANY places online to find FREE sewing patterns?

I can find crochet and knitting patterns to my heart's content - but sewing? Forget it!

It's not even a matter of me being a cheapo (although that does come into play), but more of a matter of me not having wheels and being able to run to the fabric store every time I have an idea of what to do with some of my fabrics. :/

Any help? Right now I'm looking for a cheerleader-type short pleated skirt, but I'd love some URLs with lotsa stuff.

Thanks. :)

Could not find any schoolgirl skirts but this explains how to do pleats

Here is a site on schoolskirts and ordering info. May be fun to browse the sites.

YAY!

Thanks - I *totally* forgot that freepatterns.com had more than just crochet and knitting patterns. *sheepish grin*

You must be a better searcher than I am - I googled for literally HOURS looking for info and could NOT find any!

:)

Thanks again!!
