Sam Apron from Helen’s closet– up to 62” hip
Mood Fabrics has many free patterns and most go up to ~63” hip. There are sometimes drafting problems especially for larger sizes so we don’t often recommend them unless we have tested. However, it was the only source of free Menswear patterns in this size range that I could find aside from a few T-shirt patterns. Here is a link to Menswear/unisex. All Gender Patterns
Here are the Woodsia shorts, which Jim would LOVE.

Just letting you guys know, there’s a long list of more free patterns on Broad In The Sheets, which is associated with Muna & Broad. Unless it was mentioned in that other post which I haven’t heard yet.

Thanks Kim! I used her list for help in the episode, but mostly the patterns listed don’t meet the 60″ hip requirement. We really had to search for ones that met our new hip requirement!
That is however where I discovered the Rational Dress jumpsuit, and I’ve never seen it mentioned anywhere else. Jess should have been given credit for her pioneering efforts, especially at a time when your narrow criteria would have been pretty meaningless
A correction – quite easy to go from a4 or letter to projector using PDF stitcher, a free tool. Also, you can use the measure tool in the free Acrobat to see what finished measurements will be without having to print. And love the show 🙂
Thanks for the tip! And for listening to our show. 🙂
It’s easiest yet to just print them on legal-sized paper 😉
Unleashed patterns has a new free hoodie pattern, past 80” hip.
Also, Petite Stitchery has 2 knit pant patterns, a hoodie, a crop tee, swing tank and a dress, and bunches of non-clothing and kids stuff for free. Up to 61-1/4” hip. I am forever looking for appx 70” hips for loved ones, so I adore Unleashed.
