Unfortunately, those tutorials are mostly about making textures (the only tutorial listed there which is about making clothes meshes, using TSR Workshop, has a non-working link), and the only clothes mesh tutorials I know of here are for The Sims 2. But, if you work through 'Modifying a TS3 body mesh by Wes Howe' under that link, it's not actually about a body mesh but a sunglasses mesh, but it will give you a good start if you have no idea how to mesh - I had no idea myself, and that tutorial is where I first began to learn how to do it. Also under that link, reading through the general CAS texture-related tutorials will give you an idea about how to make textures for your mesh, and the tutorials are all based on Photoshop (as well as GIMP), so they will help you with how to use Photoshop too.
Then you can work your way through the TS2 clothing mesh tutorials, ignoring the beginning and end sections where they discuss Bodyshop and
SimPE and so on, but just read through the middle sections where they discuss using Milkshape and UV maps, as that is the same as TS3. You might also find it useful to read through the Sims 3 Creation forum, under the 'Create' menu.
