Pattern Indexchecked & dated

Free patterns, with the details actually filled in

Pattern Index lists patterns you can download from other people's sites, and records what the roundup articles leave out: the specs that decide whether a file is any use to you, whether there is a signup wall in the way, and the date we last confirmed the link still works.

Why this site exists

Search for a free sewing pattern and you get a list of twenty links and a photo for each. You click through six of them before finding out that one stops at a size 16, two want your email address, and one has been a 404 since last year. The information that decides whether a file is any use to you is never in the list — it is buried three clicks deep, or not written down anywhere at all.

So we open every page, write down the details, and put the date on it.

Sewing patterns are the first category here. Others follow the same rule: a category only goes up once every entry in it has been opened and checked by hand, and every entry carries the date that happened.

How this is kept honest

A note on this domain

The address you are on, freeimagedump.com, was a free image host for many years. If you followed an old link to an image that used to live here, it is gone — that service ended and no copies were kept. The domain is now used for this index.
