Woody the Owl Crochet Pattern
Roxycraft has a free pattern up on her site for the adorable Woody the Owl!
HOW TO - Oilcloth Lunch Bag
Cindy at Skip to my Lou made this tutorial for sewing a reusable oilcloth lunch sack. She's included a pattern, detailed instructions, and excellent photographs.
Crochet Coin Purse Pattern
Handmade by Calista has a pattern to make this crochet coin purse with a snap frame. I love the look of all the ruffles.
Free Patterns @ Knit.1
Not sure how I missed this, but the Knit.1 website has a whole page of free pattern PDFs for you to download. Check it out and find knit and crochet patterns for everything from a knitted and felted reusable tote (pictured above) to a lacy cardigan, amigurimi octopus, or anchor-motif tube top.
HOW TO - Make "Roller Coasters"
Juliette from Chickpea Sewing Studio has a new pattern up at The Sewing Republic which shows you how to make these ric-rac trimmed "roller coasters". This would be a great project to use up fun scraps of fabric you can't bear to part with.
HOW TO - Knit an Evening Shrug
The Purl Bee shows you how to knit up this earthy yet sophisticated shrug from sustainable bamboo yarn. Perfect to wear over a little dress, or even with a tank and jeans.
