Best Sewing sites & patterns, tutorials

[nesser1981]

Videos, whatever I need to learn with. Free patterns would be good too.

I got my machine, the only $100 machine that Joann's actually had in the store, its a Singer, I bought one of those premade design things at walmart, its like an american girl doll night gown that I'm going to try and do, just as practice, but I don't really know what I'm doing other than running machine.

Yes! That one! (her mom was my kindergarten teacher! ) But seriously, she's the one who has inspired most of my sewing projects.

I also like:
http://www.dana-made-it.com/
http://www.made-byae.com/

They all have links to a bunch of other sites doing sew-a-thons right now, so there is lots of eye candy and fun things to try. The best thing to do is just try, and make sure you have an un-picker.
