    Nice page - is it yours? :)

    Also, going on your wording there, am I to understand that we can respond with further craft links? :) If so, I have a few (all mostly or entirely related to doll/toy making - plenty of free patterns);

    1: Cloth Doll Making by Runo Dollmaker ( http://dollmaker.nunodoll.com/ ) - Has free patterns, accompanied by detailed tutorials with photographs. Highly recommended.

    2: The Free Penguin Project ( http://www.free-penguin.org/ ) - Free *and* open source patterns to make your own Tux the penguin (the Linux kernel mascot), or your own penguin based upon his design.

    3: Open Source Sewing from Silver Seams ( http://www.silverseams.com/opensource/index.html ) - Plenty of patterns with good written instructions, and photographs of the resulting items - including some from site visitors, in some cases.

    Moreover, all three are pretty clear about whether you can sell things made from the patterns or not, which is refreshing to see (this may well be of interest for some crafting-inclined MSE members, I'm sure). The answers can be found here (for Runo Dollmaker's pages), here (for The Free Penguin Project), and here (for Silver Seams' Open Source Sewing patterns).

    I hope someone likes these.

    i love some of the patterns here, there's loads (some are a little american 'folk-craft' but outweighed by the good ones!)
    ... and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should ...
