Free Sewing Patterns!

Beth Cooper

Nancy’s Notions is pleased to offer you free patterns.  We have a library full of past projects featured by Nancy Zieman.  Over the next several months, we will be writing about many of them and featuring them on Nancysnotions.com.  Several of them are accessible to you on the Nancy’s Notions Youtube channel.

Be sure to check out the Best Nest Organizer Basket Best Nest Organizer Basket.  It is a wonderful little organizer and so handy to keep a project in or to hold any other item in your home.  It is functional and goes great in any décor. And you can find tons of fabric option for it on Missouri Star.

Have you ever wanted to make a rug?  Or even a small mug rug?  This free pattern for rag rugs is so easy and fun to make.  Check it out the free pattern.

If you’re looking for a great apron to make for yourself or for a friend, check out this Crisscross Apron pattern.  It always turns out so cute and is super easy to make.  There are no ties or strings and is the most comfortable apron ever.  We have a tutorial on Youtube and the pattern is available to purchase on Mary Mulari’s website. Check out the floral fabric on Missouri Star and be on your way to recreating this apron in no time!

The model from Marymulari.com shows how the Criss Cross Apron fits.

More patterns will be added soon so be sure to check back!

    What happened to the library of free sewing patterns from the old Sewing with Nancy site? These could be used for community service projects.

    Hi, I am looking for the pattern for the “Ear Cozy” – a head warmer that will go over a ball cap. The video is still in YouTube, but I can’t find a link that works! I had it at one time, but it mistakenly got put into recycling 🙁 Thanks!

      Hi Janet. I’m sorry but that book is no longer being printed. We do not have any. You may check ebay or maybe even your local library might have a copy you could borrow. I’m sorry I’m not able to help!

    Looking for the free bag pattern with an outside zipper pocket??? Can’t find it anywhere. Any suggestions??

    Reply
    1. Beth Cooper

      Hi Barbara. I’m wondering if the bag you’re looking for is the one that was on our facebook page last night? That post was shared from Timeless Treasures. That pattern is on their website. You can find it here: https://www.ttfabrics.com/page/56/projects/ I hope this is the one you’re looking for!

    I am looking for the pattern which shows how to make a hat or scarf for people undergoing chemo therapy. I made one many years ago for a person who was undergoing chemo and thought it may still be on the website.

      Hi there! Unfortunately, those patterns are all in Nancy’s books, and those books are no longer in print. Your best bet would be to check used book stores and eBay. I’m so sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

    Will there be a way to get the old patterns? There was one for pillows with a trick Nanci did with squaring the corners that I would love to have. I have looked everywhere.

    I have wished that Sewing With Nancy Books would once again be published and for sale. I’m sure there are up and coming sewists who would greatly benefit from the invaluable tips, trick, and knowledge that Nancy had. She was one of a kind.

    I was just watching the “Solving the Pattern Fitting Puzzle” program and she refers to small sample pattern pieces on her site. The website on the program takes me to Wisconsin PBS where I can watch programs…which is GREAT!! Do you know where I can find things like this that she talks about? Thank you, and thank you for bring this information. Nancy was great, had great ideas and make it easy!!
