Where to buy patterns?

Green Pepper patterns are sold by a couple of different places. I've used them.

–B.G.–

Seattle fabrics have some that are outdoor oriented:

quest outfitters and outdoor wilderness fabrics both have patterns and good prices on materials. look for the plans for the original g-4 pack, i think they are still free some place.

here is a source for some "not so new" design ideas

packs quilts and tarps are all pretty easy to do without a pattern. for clothes i have used the green pepper patterns but i always make a test one on cheap fabric as the sizing almost always needs tweaking.

There's also this place. They seem to have the most modern, technical jackets I've found.

Here is a link to the patterns section of the Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics web site. They are also a good source for fabrics, straps, buckles, cord and all the stuff you need for making gear:

Also there are a couple FREE patterns on the Six Moons Designs web site for a bivy and a simple tarptent:
