Best Online Sewing Resources

While I find my books to be incredibly helpful sometimes they don't explain it too well. So here are a somewhat carefully composed list of the best sewing resources on the internet in no particular order. If I missed anything great please leave it in a comment

Best Websites:

Pattern Review- You have to sign up but that's free and there is so much sewing info all in one spot... one of the best sections on sewing machine reviews I've seen and like the title says lots of pattern reviews as well. They also teach classes. http://sewing.patternreview.com/

Burdastyle- The inspiration on the projects page is the best, but they also have a great forum section and tons of great PDF patterns http://www.burdastyle.com/
