Seems like more and more people I know are either taking up sewing or picking it up & improving their skills. This excites me to no end! Nothing better than to talk with a friend about something you both enjoy. I, myself, love learning from other more experienced sewers, like my grandma and my mother-in-law, and would love to share what I've learned with others as well. Here is a list of some of my favorite tutorials or sewing resources:
Sew, Mama, Sew blog : there is a link in my sidebar to this also. Every month they feature something new. I *loved* the Handmade Holidays series {30 posts worth of tutorials in this one link, ya'll} for gift-giving inspiration {not to early to start for next year}!
Tiered Skirt Tutorial: Sew easy! You know I've made like 10 of these so far. Always a perfect fit!
Installing a Zipper: Just in case those zippers leave you clammy with nervousness, this will calm your fears.
Making a Zippered Pouch: These could make great little gifts for all walks of life!
Baby Sewing: Lots of neat tutes here, like slings & diaper bags & sheets and more!
More Tutes than You can shake a stick at. Seriously.
Coffee Cozy: Haven't made one yet. But I think all my Starbuck-ers will be getting them for Christmas next year. Sew cute!
Bagsket Tutorial: I just made one last week. It's uber-cute! I'll post it when I get a minute.
Craftbits: Lots of goodies here. Not just for sewing either. Check it out.
Craftster: See what others have made & learn from their mistakes or process in the forums. I particularly enjoy the Purses, Bags, Wallets forums and the Kids Completed Projects and Kids Sewing Discussions.
I think that's quite enough to keep us all busy for sometime now, don't you agree? I enjoy several blogs as well for serious inspiration, such as Sugar Shop, Craft Apple, Pink Chalk Studio, & Pink Lemonade Boutique. Have a lovely weekend & happy creating!
P.S. If you're in love with a blog or tute that I didn't mention, please share with me & the rest of the group ;>)

Thanks for all the leads. One of these days I'll get busy sewing again...if only the laundry, cooking, teaching, and cleaning would take care of themselves!
I'm so glad you made a list of these! Alicia commented on my blog asking for exactly this and I simply couldn't answer her. So, thanks for answering her question! And thanks for giving me more sites to check out.
Makes me want to dust off my sewing machine and get to work...maybe in two Sarturdays I will get myself in gear and see what comes of it. Thanks Becki!
Thanks, when I get a moment I will defenitly check these out!! :0)
