As a plus-sized gal myself, I know how hard it can be to find clothing in that size. Not only do stores limit the size, bit often, there are not very many free sewing patterns out there for women our size, either. Another problem we often encounter is plus sized clothing that does not fit right it at all. Some pants are made for women that are much curvier than ourselves or a top might be cute, but it’s way too short. I have a long torso, and I seem to have the hardest time finding shirts that aren’t crop tops on me!
I think knowing how to sew is essential for everyone, but for those of us into the plus sizes, it is definitely a must. Not only will you be able to create your own clothing, but you will be able to make other items out there a more custom fit. Here are 10 free plus size patterns to get you started.
Please note, I included some patterns that I think would be easy to upsize and look flattering on plus sized gals as well. Here is some information on how to make a regular pattern fit plus sized from Melly Sews.
