Maybe you know, but I don't

Help me out, folks. Is there a knitty.com equivalent for sewing? I have a modest stack of fabric that I would love to turn into fugly objets d'art, but I have no patterns. And no desire to buy patterns. Do you see my dilemma? I know Craftster is a pretty good resource for ideas, but there's very little in the way of instructions. And I know sewing patterns require ginormous cut-out templates, and are thus not printer-friendly. I checked some pattern books out of the library, but they are very light on patterns. So I'm convinced that there's a vigorous online sewing community that is just invisible to me. So does anyone know? Does sewwy.com exist? OK, it does. But it's not what I had in mind. Ugh. I wanna make something like this sew bad. I mean, sooooo bad. Update: What the Craft has some good tutorials - I may just try to resize a T-shirt this aftenroon. Now if only I had a serger...
