Good sources of free sewing patterns?

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I've started making my DD clothes to save money, both refashioning stuff from charity shops (adult stuff into kid clothes) and making things from scratch.
So far I've just made my own patterns, but I'd like to be able to get some free patterns that include winter clothes as a lot of the online tutorials seems to be very simple summer dresses whereas I need sleeves now!
I'm especially looking for patterns to be used with woven non-stretch fabrics as they need to be more accurate and need fastenings of some kind.
Can anyone help?
I'm an OK sewer and have a machine, but I'm not advanced.
