    I went to a thrift shop and got some vintage sewing magazines and they have a lot of things in them that can help beginners without paying a lot for a new sewing book/magazines.
    Youtube channels:

    http://www.youtube.com/user/threadbanger (All around great channel)
    http://www.youtube.com/user/aglanceatmyworld (great beginner projects there!)
    http://www.youtube.com/user/Craftovision (Owner of threadbanger's other channel, doesn't post as much anymore)
    http://www.youtube.com/craft (crafts in general)
    Websites:
    http://www.burdastyle.com/ (check out there techniques section)
    http://craftgawker.com/ (there are some sewing tutorials)
    http://stylegawker.com/ (some fashion sewing tutorials)
    http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=beginner+sewing+projects (just a search of "beginner sewing projects" on pinterest)
    Hope I helped!

    I want to make this skirt but am a bit hesitant to make it with cotton rather than knit. Any tips? I've made not stretch skirts before but I'm confused on how to make THIS with cotton. :C Help?

    On the Mew plushie, I would like to know how to do the eyes and bottom of the feet~maybe add a link or something? And when your showing the sewing remind people too leave a space open...you wouldn't believe how many people would sew them close XD If your plushies require a certain stitch, you could tell people to look them up online if they needed help :3 Othere than that they are very good Happy But to be professional little things like that could be included Happy And theyre very cute Happy I would certainly make them
