Everyone likes FREE, especially at the holidays. For this reason, we’ve spent a lot time getting new freebies out for our favorite customer. Who’s our favorite customer, you ask? Well, YOU! I’ve compiled a list of my favorite 5 out of 4 freebies just for you! Welcome to the 2019 Gift Guide: 10 Freebie Patterns for the Holidays.
1- DIY Christmas Stocking
The best place to start with a holiday gift guide is with holiday stuff. I’ve made several of these stockings and I just LOVE them. I need to make a few more for my kids and for gifts. It’s a fast, easy, professionally finished make that your family and friends will love!

2- DIY Knot Wristlet
This little wristlet is such a satisfying make and the results are fabulous. It’s uses vary widely from my six year old’s go-to purse, to a wristlet for date night, to a crochet ball that holds a bag of yarn. It makes for a wonder gift that everyone should make. There’s even a FREE Video Tutorial.

3- DIY No Sew Scarf
When my husband and I were in the process of adopting our now 13 year old we needed to do some fundraising and it was Christmas time. I decided to make these scarves. I didn’t have a sewing machine at the time so I had to find a way to make it work. I’m sure I’m not the first person to make a scarf like this but I came up with what worked for me and I still love making them. Even better, I can make them with my kids aged 3-13. Did I tell you there’s a FREE Video Tutorial for this one too?

4- DIY Scrunchies
All of my girls have hair long enough to require a scrunchie. They seem to be gaining popularity more and more, which is odd since I used them in the 90’s. This is a great little free pattern that includes a tutorial for creating a scrunchie using a hair tie or an elastic. Additionally, there are instructions and a pattern piece to add a bow. They are just too cute. Oh, yeah, we have FREE Video Tutorial for both versions HERE and HERE.

5- DIY Wine Bag
If you’re heading to a Holiday party, dinner, or even a NYE gathering make one of these to accompany your wine. The wine itself is a gift but adding a fun, handmade bag makes the gift that much more special. You’ll be remembered for years to come for your sweet thoughtfulness.

6- Frosty the Sleeved Blanket
This is a favorite this Holiday season. It’s been flying off the shelves, so to speak, since Rachelle released it. I made 5 of them and my kids can’t get enough. They get used every single day and are just super fun!

7- Ramsay Apron
Another new addition to our FREEBIE catalog is the Ramsay Apron. You can make aprons for absolutely everyone in your family. EVERYONE. This pattern comes in various sizes and you’ll love making them.

8- The Luna Skirts
One of the things I LOVE about these is that there are TWO FREE patterns. One pattern for women and one for girls. Who doesn’t love a little matchy-matchy around the holidays?

9- Ninjas
Here’s another that has both a women’s and kids version. These are fabulous patterns and are staples in my house! I can’t get enough of them. They’re cute and the fit is great. I really love the gusset options and waistband on these awesome leggings.

10- Pajama Pants
Everyone loves a good pair of soft, comfy pajama pants. That’s exactly what you get with this pattern. Two waistband options, drawstring and hem finish options as well. It’s an easy make that everyone will love. Additionally, this pattern is perfect for both men and women.

Last minute Addition
It’s never too late to get in the Christmas spirit. I haven’t made mine yet but even though it’s after December 1 I’m still doing it because the DIY Advent Calendar is everything I love about this season. There’s even a FREE Video Tutorial to help you along. It’s awesome!
FIND IT HERE
In addition to free patterns we even have a few free tutorials. I just couldn’t leave some of these extras out of this gift guide.
The HEADBANDS! There are three: Basic Knit Headband, Knot Headband and Fisheman’s Knot Headband. You can’t go wrong with any of these. They’re fun and cute!
Wait, there’s more! We’ve got cut files. There are several FREE ones to choose from. You can find ALL our cute files HERE.
Well, that’s quite a list now that I look at it all. It’s also a super fun and awesome list. We hope you enjoyed the 2019 Gift Guide: 10 Freebie Patterns for the Holidays. We have more on the way to be on the look out!

These are great. I’d love to see an under the Christmas Tree Skirt.
I would love to see a boys bow tie or girl hair bow freebie for the holidays.
I love the tutorials you do! They help me a lot to learn the ins and outs of sewing and some nice tricks. I am intimidated by a hood, so a tutorial on something with a hood and doing the pretty covering over the seams ( I know that has a name, but I cannot think of it right now🤪)
Such awesome freebies! Thanks! I’d love to see some kind of freebie that could be a good gift for men. I find it so hard to think of things to make for guys besides clothes!
I love these freebies!! I would like to see something for men. It’s been hard finding something for my hubby.
Little reusable heat packs
These are all great ideas but how about something for everyone experiencing summer at Christmas time, an easy to make beach bag or sun hat perhaps?
I’d love a pattern for a basic men’s wallet or cute little clutch bag
I want to try to make myself a two handed oven mitt thingy. A tutorial for that would be fab.
A wallet
I would love a free leg warmer pattern
Gift card wallets to use when gifting them instead of an envelope or wrapping paper!
I would love a tree skirt or table runner
I love the tutorials and all these freebies are awesome. Button holes 😰😰Thank you
Something I can wear to use up some of my quilters cotton
A wallet for men/teen boys, a coffe cup cozy, a change purse, a key fob, a chapstick holder…
For the Pattern a casserole carrier
For the tutorial, a side pocket hack on the ninjas
My suggestion is some sort of “Toboggan” as my MIL calls them…but basically a good winter hat pattern! I’m learning that you can never have too many!
Pajama pants
An elf for the shelf or elf shoe slippers
I’d love something for summer, like a sun hat, for those of us whose Christmases are more sandy than snowy.
I would love to see something to use up some of my woven fabrics or girls hair bows. Or anything girly (new baby here to sew for!)
Cute lined zipper pouches
An interesting way to use up scraps that would be a unique gift
I would love either a beanie pattern or mitten pattern!
How about a decor item such as a table runner?
Shopping bag.
Thanks for these great patterns💕
I would love to see a free leg warmer, boot cuff pattern with maybe different options-cinched, bow, cuff.
I like all the suggestions that have been made…….how about something for pets
An easy simple stuffed bear or memory bear…. or an animal ear headband. oh or maybe a neck rest or back cushion, yea i’d like that. I’m going to bed now, it’s been a long day 🙂 love your freebies, Thanks!!
I’d love a pattern for a tree skirt.
A car trash bag would be awesome. Just got a new car and need to be able to keep it looking clean. Lol
A tutorial on how to correctly serge on waistbands/neckbands/cuffs would be so helpful! I’ve been struggling with that. Thank you! 🙂
have you checked out our sewing school? https://5outof4.com/sewing-school-knit-band-basics/ or https://5outof4.com/sewing-school-neckbands-part-1/ or https://5outof4.com/sewing-school-neckbands-part-2-the-v-neck/
Hopefully there’s some help in there for you.
This is one heck of a list. Definitely pinning a few of these. A fun slip on slipper would be fun. Like a bootie with elastic in the ankle. Almost like a sock but not in terms of fit.
Awesome. My kids and I are already behind making the Advent calendar but we’ll get there. How about a belt tutorial?
How about a fabric gift bag in different sizes? (other than for wine, I mean). That one is super cool though!
I would love to see some freebies for those of us just going into summer, perhaps a easy make beach bag or sun hat 🙂
Congrats Debbie! You’re the winner of a $10 5oo4 Gift Card. Please email [email protected] to claim. Thanks!
Maybe like a coffee cozy or pot holders/oven mitts! Easy to use up my cotton fabric stash.
I struggle every year with ideas for men’s stocking stuffers, so I have nothing to offer there, but I need ideas! What about easy ornaments kids could (help) sew? Or a twist towel with an elastic loop for drying hair?
How about something for office gifts? Especially men?
A book bag or chair bag for kids to use at school would be great.
I’d like a nice glove pattern for winter. 🙂
I’d love to see a free pattern for a fabric pouch / basic wallet to give a gift card in (or a handmade IOU gift card) instead of using a standard (boring) cardboard one 🙂
This may sound strange, but I’d love a free pattern for a maxipad/tampon wallet. My friend gave me one (I think it was from Asia) and it has a small enclosure (magnetic snap) and opens up to 3 compartments where you can slip 3 pads into it. I love it and would love to make one for my friends but I just don’t know how!
These are great ideas! I’d love to see a zippered shave/bathroom bag or some more small useful gift ideas for adults that we may or may not be super familiar with like teachers, daycare providers, mail carriers, neighbors, etc. 🙂
I’d love to see a Christmas tree skirt. Would like to make my own this year
Some kind of hat to keep my hubby’s bald head warm…but not a beanie hat.
I’d love a free pattern for an oven mit. That would be great!
I am making some scrunchies today! Can’t wait! Thank you for the pattern
Compartmental pouches for packing in your suitcase.
Love these ideas, thanks for sharing! I’d love to find a cute bow tie for boys babies thru adults, and also a leg warmer pattern from sweater knit or fleece. Thanks and happy holidays!
I would love a little-black-dress (IE appropriate for many different situations, dress up or dress down, type) pattern. I suspect this would have to be a paid pattern, but either way, I’d be interested in that.
