In my obsessive search of the internet I have found some pretty cool sites with sewing ideas and free patterns.(I don't actually print them out, but I do like to look at them to get an idea of what shape each piece should be.

She has some great design ideas and a few free patterns, in fact I think I'm going to try to make this portfolio soon. I'm not sure if the pattern would fit my iPad, so I may adjust it so that it does.

BurdaStyle is like a social network for people who sew! It has some free patterns and some that you can purchase. Lots of great inspiration here! To download patterns you have to sign up for a free membership.
