A Variety of Great Tutorial sites

Just thought I'd post the links to many sites that I thought included well written/shown tutorials for sewing projects, may it be clothes or decorations.

Pillowcase Dress:
It is revised tutorial which I am really glad as it make it so simple enough to make. Will make some for my girl and her girlfriends. Might dig up some in my linen cupboard and the op-shops. Should be fun!

Classic Tote bag:
Including how to do the French Seams. Looks strudy and simple. I think I would put the pocket inside the bag so I can put wallet/key in them rather than out on front where it could fall out.

I had to order some from USA but here's the tutorial so will see if it will be good. Verdict coming for this site though, I love its main blog.
