Here are a few links for sewing and garment construction information. The first ones I knew of and have visited. Then the others I just found using Google. I’m sure there’s more out there. Some info may be good, some may not be. I’m not posting any of these as an endorsement but rather just to show you that there’s lots of information at your disposal and here’s where some of it can be found:
