Beading Q And A: Free Beading Patterns (7/29/2011)

2011 July 29

Linda asks…

Free beading patterns?

My boyfriends mother got me hooked on beading. We live in a kinda small town and there is only one bead studio here, and they don’t have many patterns. Does anyone know of any good sites with free beading patterns online to make bracelets and necklaces? I’ve tried looking and haven’t found many things that are what I am looking for, and I’m mainly finding knitting things and beading not involving necklaces or bracelets. If you could help me, it would be great! Thanks!

Where can I get Hot Fix or beading patterns to make designs for a shirt?

One that I am looking for is a Dachshund hot fix pattern.
Free down loadable ones would be great.
