Even tough I know feel brave enough to try and draw my own patterns, it took me quite some time to get to this point, and even know I prefer to sew base on a known pattern, drafted by someone much more qualified than me.
Finding free patterns is quite easy actually, though I must admit I prefer those who come with a detailed tutorial (I promise to make some of my own really soon), and those are a bit harder to come by.
The second thing you should look for is the sizing. free patterns usually come in one size- the pattern's maker's kid size... and even than, there could be huge differences. for example: I sew two identical dresses for my girl- one in a size 5T and the other in a size 2T, only to discover the 2T fits better on my older daughter (but as a shirt cause it's too short for her), while her 5T dress would probably fit her best in a couple of years or so.
I use Pinterest most of the time, as it is much easier than googling, and much more convenient to store links as everything has a picture to remind me of the content of the link.

One of my favorite paterns is the Muu Muu dress pattern by Pretty Prudent. I'v tried it from different fabrics, with long and short sleeves, and loved it everytime. It's quite easy and could be a great started project if you're taking your first steps in sewing
This was my first dress from this pattern:
What do you think? Have you tried using this pattern? I'd love to see which fabrics you chose
