Internet Archive
The Internet Archive is a bit of a firehose of information, but careful searching can yield great results. Some require a free account in order to borrow the item.
For instance:
- Sewing Casual Clothes
- How to Make Your Own Sewing Patterns
- Sewing Fun Stuff is wild, but an interesting resource for sculptural sewing. (Also great if you need to sew a 7' palm tree.)
- Bean Bag Buddies stuffed beanbag toys
Paid Patterns
- Something Delightful carries Vogue, McCall's, Butterick, etc.
- The Fold Line
- Pattern Review (why is this not organized by project type?!)
- Makerist
