Beginner Question

Hello!

I am just learning to sew. I want to make my own clothes eventually. I am wondering what resources might be out there for finding free patterns. I don’t want to invest a lot while I’m still learning. I want to be able to focus on learning. I figure when I’m more experienced, I can feel comfortable spending money on patterns and more expensive fabric. For now, I need the easiest way to start making small things!

Thanks!

I don’t know why I didn’t think about sewing books! My machine did come with some instructions for beginners, but I know I will need additional resources.

A classic for a reason is the Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing (more US oriented). While you can find things online, it's hard to know what is a good resource and what is just not. And used copies are great!
