Free Patterns on my mind, inspired by SewFrugal26

The SewFrugal Challenge ran in May this year, and it is always an inspiring one for me! I had so many ideas for this year's challenge. I have a lot of free patterns in my collection to choose from -- I went through my options before finally deciding to make the Kelly Watch the Stars top by Festive Road as shown in my last post. 

But here were some others that I considered as well! 

Tiana's Closet has a ton of free patterns. I looked at, and even downloaded, three tops - the Isla, Basilie, & Nomi. I also looked at the Madera dress and may end up trying that someday also, it has nice lines! 

I have the ITS Deba Topper in my stash and think it will be a useful addition to the summer wardrobe. Just couldn't find the right fabric for it this time around. 

I also even briefly considered the Hanbok vest Baeja, a free pattern by Sewing Therapy. But I'm not sure how it would fit into my style so didn't go for it after all. 

The last one I considered making was the Manhattan Top by Sewing and the City (which you can get for free when you subscribe to her newsletter). It's so cute & can be made as a dress, too.

And of course, once all the #SewFrugal26 posts were shared for all the amazing things that others were making, I got even more cool ideas for further free projects in future! Here are a few I am eager to try later on.

I liked the look of the Declic Top by Atelier Scammit as a simple summer top. This was new to me. Quite a few people made this one and it looked great on everyone. 

The Janet Celeste Zero Waste Top was also new to me. It's just the kind of design I like, and now I want to try it too. 

Another discovery was the Maeve Dress by Violette Field Threads. This is a flowy summery style and might be fun to try. (It's also available in child and tween sizes if you sew for younger people).

And I had forgotten about Imby's Flowy Top from Karmme Apparel -- I will have to investigate that one again for another summery option. 

Do you have a favourite free sewing pattern to recommend?
