To help me understand what tools I need and how to read a sewing pattern, I bought a book. It is Complete Photo Guide to Sewing: 1200 Full-Color How-to Photos. It has lots of photos. I hope it helps!
I've also purchased some fabric and sewing patterns for a skirt and for a dress. I'll be blogging along the way so keep checking back!
Also, if you have some experiences in sewing to share, add them to the comments or contact me.
