Simplicity Patterns has a link to free sewing and knitting and crocheting in their "classroom". Here's the link. Click on either sewing or knitting and crocheting and there are dozens of projects with patterns and instructions for free and they are adding more all the time! Just in the sewing section, they have projects for everyone, from kitty toys and a travel doggie dish, to home decor like pillows and frames, to accesories like necklaces, bangles, headbands, and belts to quick and easy clothing like embellished t-shirts, and ruffled denim skirts. There is everything you could ever imagine like costumes, pins, lunchsacks and totebags, and that just barely scratches the surface. Check it out, I'm sure with all the options you'll find something you will fall in love with! And I only visited the sewing section, if you knit or crochet the options are even more diverse and exciting!
