Here's a good beginning, above as well as all of the previous suggestions in this thread. I made all of my clothes when I was in high school (late 60's graduated in'71). Took 5 years of Home Economics just to get that new out fit in the fall and spring....hehehe. The above link is a great start and if you get stuck with something just ask.
