On teepees, My neighbour and I made 5 between us for christmas presents last year using a pattern from an old singer sewing book. Ours was similar to your last link with the four sides. I highly recommend getting broomstick handles for the poles and drilling holes in the top ends, the best place I found for them which I don't think is too far from you is Tony's hardware in Chester st Oakleigh, a 175cm pole for $2.50. Your welcome to borrow the book if you wish, just email me :)

so much inspiration out there it's almost overwhelming! thanks for the links. those knitting patterns are in danger of derailing the knitting queue...
Patternmaking/fitting books are variable. I have some of the classic home sewing ones and a few of the industrial ones.
Fashion incubator Site is my favourite source for industry information but I am grateful for Threads Magazine for giving me a hearty shove in the right direction.
Armstrong is the most widely used drafting books. http://tinylink.com/?obB3844Avk
A great book for comparing different
pattern alteration techniques is this one

I have the same childrens fashion sites in my bookmarks. There are so many lovely childrenswear sites at the moment.
di, GREAT links and thoughts.
thanks for sharing (i'll be checking through the threads website some more!)
