With Christmas right around the corner, many independent pattern companies are running sales and freebies. Be sure to check out your favorites to see what they have to offer. In the mean time, here’s a couple of interesting ones for you to check out (FYI most of these require a code that is available in “Pinned” posts on their Facebook pages):

Patterns for Pirates has cut files perfect for pajamas, an infinity scarf with a hidden pocket, and a fun, holiday stocking hat.

Winter Wear Designs has their own cut files as well as a freebie legging pattern (with several design options) and sleeve pack that fits her patterns (there are free shirt patterns available too). 

Along with sales, Peek-a-Boo pattern shop has a quilted potholder tutorial up on their blog.

George & Ginger is doing some giveaways on their Facebook Page including a Singer Heavy Duty machine (ends today) and a copy of three new patterns that will be released soon.

Other non-pattern company freebies include:

Learning how to make a fabulous hoodie.

Change up your room’s decor with a modern floor cloth. (shameless plug)

Sewing up a bum bag\fanny pack.

Enter to win a 5 pattern bundle from DIY Fluffies.

This holly leaf bow tie is the perfect way to look festive at his next holiday party.

Stitch up a fur & fleece infinity scarf (and grab a hot cocoa recipe card too).

These faux fur pompom keychains would make great stocking stuffers. Don’t want a key chain? Make earrings instead.
