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.

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)

Hope I helped!

Please, how to make a skater skirt dress??
Started 5 months ago · Last post 5 months ago ·
I feel like the shoulder pads might look a bit odd as bust cups, if you've done it before and it looked good go for it, if not I would recommend getting some bust cups at Joanns (if you have a Joanns) or using an old bra. I think the bust cups come with directions xD Not sure. You could even get a pattern that had directions on putting in bust cups. And if I were you I would add boning to the dress...? If you were comfortable with doing that.

Homemade dust plug..... Good idea?
Started 5 months ago · Last post 5 months ago ·
I'm going to agree with Monika, I wouldn't put anything in a device that isn't intended for it :/ how about you buy a cheap charger or pair of ear buds and cut away the parts that aren't plugged in and just mess with the outside of the part you DO plug in but just don't put foreign objects in them :P

Okay this is for teenagers, what do you want to become!!
Started 7 months ago · Last post 2 months ago ·
I want to go to college for business and some how start a "home-grown" fashion brand I guess. SO I guess you could say fashion designer but I'd really just be a entrepreneur :D I've been sewing for quite a long time and have been working to open an etsy store for the hats I sell because I need to have them in other places other than the local shop that carries them :)

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?
Thanks :D

You could get your first color in your hair, ombre it with bleach, then add the other color on the bleached part.

Craft Challenge is back :D
Started over 1 year ago · Last post over 1 year ago ·
YES! IT IS BACK!!!
If you haven't played before, here are the rules:
You challenge the person above you to a crafty challenge- something as simple as:
"I challenge *person above's name* to make a purse"
or as crazy as:
"I challenge *person above's name* to make child's toy out of an old shirt, book, and paper"
Just have fun and be creative!
All you have to do is challenge the commentor above... You can do it as many times as you like!
Now challenge me :D

Stencil Dilemma

I would put it on cardstock... then spray the cardstock with a kind of waterproof sealant on it. Then you could put a towel underneath it? I'm not exactly clear on the process you have :p
