One popular magazine dedicated to children's clothing designs is Ottobre Design. I have found that a subscription is very much worth the cost, especially when sewing for more than one child. Since I do sew at least half of their clothes these days it's always great to have inspiration and new patterns on hand.
You can view inside every one of their issues online, find some free patterns, and even subscribe online if you wish. Pattern sizing is a little different being a European magazine, but not hard to follow. Sizes in each issue range from newborn to teenager and there are probably 30-40 patterns in each issue! A couple of times a year they have a women's issue as well.
You can order individual issues either from Ottobre or stateside from Sewzanne's Fabrics (super fast shipping!). Ordering from Sewzanne's also helps a WAHM!
If you do decide to get into Ottobre sewing, make sure you check out the Ottobre Flickr group as well as the Ottobre Yahoo group.
