That's a good question. I don't have a database of anything myself, but if you search on Etsy for 1/6 scale clothing patterns or even doll patterns, I do recall seeing quite a few available (obviously not for free though). I think this is one of those instances where doll resources would probably be the place to start looking, even if those require some adaptation.
As for machine vs. hand sewing, it depends on the context. With some things that I feel require more precise stitches that will be visible, I use machine (I have a small one specifically for using on the 1/6 clothing), but for other pieces that don't require such precision, I prefer sewing by hand.
Apologies if this isn't super helpful, if i have time I will look through my bookmarks and see if I saved anything...
