This collection of 10+ Free Gnome Sewing Patterns is a page that gnomeone can deny has the cutest makes you'll find on our site (and probably the internet).
These trendy creatures are everywhere but it can be difficult to find free patterns for gnomes. Not anymore! We've collected our favorite fabric gnome patterns that are all free, easy, and fun.
Instead of spending tons of money on those boutique Nordic gnomes, sew up your own. This page features free Christmas gnome sewing patterns, quilts, decorations, accessories, and much more.
This list has a lot of variety. You'll find small and large gnomes to sew, Christmas ornaments, kitchen towels, accessories, and quilts to name a few. It's mostly the Nordic style of gnome without eyes and a big nose and beard. However, there are other classic gnome types as well.
If you love gnomes or know someone who does, then you'll love making and displaying any of these Scandinavian-inspired makes. A homemade gnome item makes a lovely gift.
