Comprehensive sewing resource guide: https://www.sewingreport.com/resources/
1) What do you want to sew? Garments, quilts, home decor – there are countless forms of sewing and each one is very different. Figure out what you want to make
2) Do some research – YouTube, Craftsy, sewing blogs are all great to check out and explore
3) Buy or borrow a sewing Machine – I recommend an entry level modern machine like the Brother SE 400 http://amzn.to/2aZBbD0
4) Get comfortable with the sewing machine – get someone who knows how to show you, take a class either online or in person, or choose a machine that has lots of online tutorials and resources
5) Start with an easy beginner friendly project like a pillowcase, throw pillows, place mats, or baby blanket – there are countless free tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest

I’ve always wanted to sew my own clothes so that I can make what fits my body the best, so these tips will really help me get started. I liked what you said about borrowing a sewing machine. That would be a good way to practice using it before I buy one of my own. Taking a class and looking at online tutorials also seems like a great way to help me sew like a pro, so I’ll try that out to make using a sewing machine easier.
