Thrifty times call for thrifty designers...

I love the Guardian's "Make your own designer clothes and accessories" section!

You can learn how to:

Make your own Vivienne Westwood dress



Make your own Celia Birtwell stencil print bag




Make your own Giles Deacon ruff t-shirt



Make your own Paul Smith shirt



...and loads more. There are also a bunch of fun projects in the "Craft" section
