I just discovered Weekend Designer. This weekend sewer gives lovely free patterns (for advanced sewers) on his site. Modern, fashion-forward, runway-style apparel, accessories, and even home decor. Thanks Don Morin!! Here’s the pattern that made me look – Zoot Alors! (the pants):

It seems he made his 100th blog post and decided to call it quits. However, his blog with all his wonderful patterns are still up! And I hope they stay up forever! Or long enough for me to try some patterns and archive them for my own future use.

He’s since started a new blog called Bag’n Tell. He is chock-full of sophisticated and fashionable ideas! Get your fix for do-it-yourself bags and accessories ideas here. Here’s a lovely example:
