\nSelf-styled as “your tool to design and sew your own wardrobe!,” “Burdastyle.com”:http:\/\/www.burdastyle.com\/<\/a> is the “instructables”:http:\/\/www.instructables.com\/<\/a> of the sewing world. Site members can post their own sewing patterns and other people can then post pictures of their creations using those patterns. Like any good design-centered site, there is also the facility for rating patterns, discussing them in forums, and even “learning new techniques”:http:\/\/www.burdastyle.com\/howtos.<\/a> Now I’ve never had any inclination to create my own clothing in my life, but if I ever did I’d imagine I would drool all over this website.
\nThanks to yet another “infodoodads”:http:\/\/infodoodads.com\/?p=281<\/a> post for this wonderful find. An oldie but a goodie. The above sewing pattern is the oh sew sweet “Kasia skirt” and can be found at its “project page”:http:\/\/www.burdastyle.com\/patterns\/show\/3633.<\/a> You will need to sign up for a free membership to see details.
