Best Free Sewing Patterns of 2017

I love looking back on all the sewing and craft projects I’ve completed throughout the year.  Here are the top 12 reader’s favorite, best free sewing patterns and craft related posts of 2017!

Best Free Sewing Patterns of 2017

My goal last year for non-food related posts was to create one new sewing pattern or tutorial (or update an older pattern with new sizes) per month.  I didn’t think I could handle doing more than that without burning out (or ignoring my family, lol) as some of these patterns are sooo labor intensive- like 40 hours labor intensive, and the computer work is really boring!  I ended up adding more than 20, so I consider that a definite success.

This year, my goal is to do more ladies sewing patterns/tutorials.  Keeping in mind; these will be mostly knit-wear and possibly woven-rayons as I generally don’t wear anything made from quilting cotton and I refuse to sew something that won’t get worn.

I’ll definitely be adding a larger size to my peasant dress pattern for girls (my missy has outgrown it again) and hopefully, for my knot dress pattern too, it’s only in sizes 2 to 6 and was always a personal favorite.

Another goal is to sew more for pleasure without worrying so much about “making instructions for the blog.”  I gifted myself an embroidery machine for Christmas and hope to share some of that work too.

Upon looking back, one surprise was that my food-related posts are 3 times more popular on my site than the sewing/craft related stuff!  (Ok, in actuality that really shouldn’t be a shocker as more people are interested in eating than sewing, lol.)  But it really is surprising to see the numbers in writing when you take into consideration the fact that a recipe post might take 3 to 4 hours to create and a sewing tutorial/pattern takes 10 times as long. But, I guess I’ll take it where I can get it since Visitors = Ad Revenue, which truthfully (even though I love to sew) is what keeps this website going!

Now that I’ve rambled on long enough, here are the top twelve reader’s favorite (according to pageviews) best free sewing patterns and craft related posts from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom of 2017!

    I have to say I’m grateful you updated the sizes on lots of your patterns. I have a cutie that needs the larger sizes. I love your patterns, especially basics, and the updated size range helps me out a ton! So thanks so much for all your hard work!
