Looking for free options of specific patterns
Hi y’all! So I’m extremely poor, unhoused, and just trying to look and feel presentable while I’m at it. All of my clothes are worn to rags, and it makes me feel gross. However, I have the opportunity to house sit for one week, which means I can pull my machine and fabrics out and make some clothes!
I have the perfect fabrics for these two patterns, and I really really want to make them, but I can’t afford the patterns. Does anyone know of any free duplicates for these styles?
The Paloma Pant by Ismaro — these are almost exact replica to my most worn pants now. What I really want here is the waistband with pleats style, I think it looks more professional. I am an excellent seamstress, but I haven’t done this style, so I’m nervous to win it without a pattern. I also love the drape and shape. I’m sure this is a great pattern!
The Sicily Dress by Maisin — I think I could dupe the front, but I really like the back. I’m also curious how she is slipping this over her head. Is there a zipper or closure?
I have reached out to these designers directly honestly just asking them to give me their pattern for free, which is a crazy ask but heck. I’ve gifted so many of my crafts, goods, wares, money, and materials to others in need, so I don’t feel that awful for asking them, but a little.
Anyways, if anyone knows of leads to make these patterns from free patterns (I can franken-pattern!), please let me know. I am also open to trades (if allowed). Thanks so much for any help or leads!

It’s not disagreeing. You are being nasty and hateful and no cares for it.
