Without knowing specifically what types of crafts you're looking for I assembled this list of varied free craft patterns and sites. There are hundreds more of them so I could add more on if you want. Just specify a category and I'll be happy to track some down for you!

It will be my intention to 'fill in' some text modules and sort these out a little bit too.

Have fun!
