Many
items of historic clothing don't require a purchased pattern.
Feel free to use our free instructions! You may use
these patterns to make items for friends and family, but they
are not intended to make items for sale. You may print
out extra copies of any free pattern to share, provided the
patterns are not sold or reprinted in any book or electronic
form (including adding them to another website--just provide a
link back here!)
As with any of our
patterns, we'll help you out with "Tech Support" if you get
stuck, have questions, or just need a hand to hold. You
can do it! |
