Found a great new pattern site at Manequim courtesy of the Selfish Seamstress who has some handy hints about dumping the frump from home sewing.

TeenUgly has a quick tutorial on how to make a custom cut-out tshirt.
Although they seem to start with completely new clothes, Vogue has some good projects for revamping existing clothes in your wardrobe. they’ve enlisted the help of designers like Dan Single and George Gorrow, aimee cho, peter som, rogan gregory and band-of-outsiders.
The sewing magazine we’ve all been waiting for, Modern Seamster. Finally a non-daggy sewing magazine and best of all the first issue is available to download for free.
