Earlier this spring, Craftsy, the online social crafting site which offers up online video classes, workshops and projects (for sewing, knitting, quilting, etc) launched a pattern section, a free place for indie designers to sell their patterns.  And in that section there are about 20 free patterns under each category ranging from crocheting to sewing.  Kind of a cool idea to pull makers in and to give back at the same time.  I've picked out a few faves for a post at Babble.  Click here to see.
