Links - Sewing
Ok, I had to post this chandelier, created with gummy bears (thanks to grammardog for the link). I love things like this ~ and now I have quite a few lampshade/chandelier ideas floating around my head, though they involve recycled materials. I will have to write them on my ideas list because I will probably not get to them any time soon!

While I'm at it, I've been meaning to post another set of craft links on here...
Here is a set of links I've collected on sewing ~

Wild Things is a free pattern generator for hats, bags, footwear, and accessories. I downloaded it a long time ago when I was trying to figure out the pattern for a specific bag and, as it didn't help with that project (and I'm pretty good at figuring out patterns on my own), I never really got around to using it. It is a lovely program though and will let you resize the patterns however you like.

Creative Little Daisy posts all sorts of usefull tutorials on sewing in her journal. I had marked this belt tutorial marked, and just saw this tutorial on sewing a zippered pocket into the lining of a bag. Wonderful!

I have not had the chance to look through these sites too much, but they are huge resources.
Beginning sewing lessons, tons of information about costume design, and gothic clothing tutorials (which has tutorials for skirts, gloves, parasols and such that you *can* make in colors other than black if you want).
