Some sites I like...
Here are some interesting websites about making clothes...

Teen Vogue DIY Projects
Big name designers tackle DIY - recycling clothes, adding embellishments, changing things around. Great step-by-step photo instructions. Living proof that recycled clothes don't have to look dodgy!

DIY Style
Twenty-somethings Allyce and Melissa have vodcasts on their site for girls who "would love to be their own designer and have clothes that no one else has."

Burda Style
Huge sewing community. Some projects way beyond beginners but be inspired by what folk are making at home. Check out this men's jacket, for instance, and the model that caused so much comment!

Threadbanger
All done in fun video format with great hosts, Rob and Corrinne. Lots of out there stuff, nice emphasis on recycling clothing, some useful tutorials.
