Links to links of free tutorials
One post I've been meaning to write for a long time is a list of links to my favorite free craft tutorials floating around the Web. I might still get to it, but really, truly, The Princess & The Monkey has the most thorough list I've seen.
I'm so grateful for being included on her roundup months ago for my tissue-paper carnation tutorial and appreciate all the hits that have come my way since then.
Here are a few of my favorites from her list:
Laptop sleeve by Nicole Mallalieu
Drawstring backpack by Martha Stewart
Fitted crib sheet by Michael Miller Fabrics
Jam Jar cover by LucyKate (am I the only one that buys that brand of jam just to keep the jars?)
Ric Rac Dahlias by Made with Love
And this Fabric Dollhouse by UK Lass in the U.S.
Some of my favorite tutorials that I don't think are on the list (but I might have just overlooked them. It's late. My contacts are itchy):
Carol from Kidding Around's barrettes
Alicia Paulson's dishtowels
Jennifer Casa's wall pockets
and
Sew Mama Sew's fabric Easter eggs
UPDATE: Klay just e-mailed me this link to the "100 best tutorials of 2008." I'm pretty sure I'll never need to buy another sewing pattern or craft book again (I won't need to, but I know I will). Thanks, Klay!
Gathering Apron by The Cottage at Frog Creek.
Any free tutorials on your to-do list? I'd love to add some of your links to the list.
This is a lot of great information. Thanks for sharing this comprehensive list!

Oh, Carolyn. I love that site. I've had it bookmarked for a long time and can't believe I don't have it in my blog roll. I'll have to print out a few of their things and then write a post about it. Have you guys done any? I never have.

I haven't yet, but I'll probably pull a few our for Joey and I to do this week.
