Named after the reign of Queen Victoria (Jun 20, 1837 – Jan 22, 1901), the Victorian era brought styles like corsets, cage crinolines, and bustles into mainstream fashion, while rich and luxurious fabrics like velvet and silk were used in upper-class homes. In the spirit of everything Victorian, we've created a collection, 17 Free Victorian Sewing Patterns. With these amazing sewing projects inspired by old-world royalty, you can time travel back to the late 1800s without leaving your sewing room! Nothing embodies the word 'vintage' more than the styles and decor of the Victorian era, with its lush fabrics, delicate ribbon and lace accents, and feminine silhouettes. While most 1800s fashions would feel very uncomfortable for modern women, we here at AllFreeSewing love vintage-inspired fashion and anything that combines vintage style with a modern edge. These easy sewing patterns and projects are the best way to combine your love of history and sewing and mix details from this era with modern styles. We've included some royal fashion essentials like corsets and shawls, as well as some modern pieces with those accents. If you love antique home decor, then you'll love these quick and easy Victorian-inspired DIY projects, like expensive-looking curtains and beginner embroidery ideas. If you've always had a love of history and fashion, then these sewing projects inspired by the Victorian era are perfect for you! Sign Up For More Free Patterns >>>

It's no secret that we don't live in a perfect world, and consequently, things that might seem like they should be easy still arent. Obviously, I'm talking about something specific pattern sizes. That's where this tutorial on How to Grade Patterns for Plus Size comes in to help. Of course, I understand that the standard range for pattern sizes is based on a measurable need and market demand, etc. But the truth is there's no way that every shape and size can be accounted for when creating patterns. The disappointment isn't solely in the fact that there is a shocking lack of plus-sized patterns available, but that there aren’t a variety of patterns for different shapes. It’s hard to find a killer pants pattern for a pear shape or a flattering summer top for a large chest. "Specialty" patterns are expensive and at the end of the day, who has money to use on customized clothing patterns when they could just forge ahead with somewhat sub-par, pre-made fits? Shouldn’t we all just buy knits, squeeze into them, and then throw a huge sweatshirt or trash bag over ourselves to feel decent (or even stunning)?
