Just Tutes

Just Tutes is a fantastic crafty blog about how to make something new out of something old - that is how to make clothes by recycling old bits of fabric and used clothes to create a whole new outfit. The blog also features recipes and crafts to make with children.

I suggest you read the first post where Charity Beasley explains what her blog is all about in her friendly Welcome! post.

On the front page of her delightful blog, she admits that "I am not an expert! In fact, I've been sewing barely two years..." which is incredible when you read through her blog and see all the great ideas and projects/patterns she is sharing.

Do you like to sew? Or perhaps you wish you had and you don't know where to start? I have just the site for you, it's called, StartSewing and it provides all the pertinent information (over 70 articles) and helpful advice that you need. There is a guide to buying a sewing machine, sewing terminology, tips regarding selecting the right fabric and pattern preparation, a guide to following patterns, and a how-to section for making various home furnishings.
