BurdaStyle.com - pattern sharing for budding seamstresses

If you're a keen sewer, BurdaStyle.com is an amazing resource for free patterns. An open source community for crafters, it's full of great designs to download as .pdf files, but what I love best is the 'view creations' link, which brings up snapshots of the finished piece as created by fellow site visitors. It's much easier to get an idea of how something looks when you see an amateur snap than looking at the glossy photographs in pattern books, and looking at the finished items has definitely inspired me to dust off my sewing machine!
