I’m learning to make my own clothes, but fabric is expensive and buying patterns from corporations feels like death by a thousand cuts. Anybody know of a resource for shared patterns? Megathread understandably doesn’t address this particular need.
libraries!
I don’t have special knowledge in this area, but I’m sure that on torrent sites (available on the Megathread) you could find courses, documentation or books on the subject.
It hadn’t ever occurred to me to look for pirated patterns :D Here are some sites with a ton of free patterns.

Z-Library also has a ton of stuff.
These are great, thanks for sharing, though some spaces would make them easier to tell apart!
Thanks, I’d managed to miss 2 of those!
Sorry about that, the formatting got stripped.
No worries, I figured a machine screwed something up along the way lol
Thanks again for the great resources, I’ve bookmarked them all, just in case…
https://freesewing.org/ has somewhat limited patterns but they’re flexible and a really cool project!
Can recommend them, too. Nice documentation on how to make measurements etc. Everything free and transparent in the spirit of open-source projects. I made a t-shirt.
MAM has a load I think they’re under lifestyle
