So I would really like to start sewing some of my own clothes (male), however I have never really sewn before. I'm looking for a book or resource that covers the most basic of basics for sewing, the end goal right now being something like a basic V-neck t-shirt. I'd prefer not to buy a sewing machine for now, so hand sewing is a must. Many of the links in the OP are broken now, and the ones that work use a lot of terminology that I'm unfamiliar with.

Comrade Quack posted:That said, perhaps a beginning sewing class at one of your local fabric stores. That should teach you things like how to run a machine and read a pattern. Plus they'll like have a machine you can use. This is probably what I'll do. I'm not really going to have room for a sewing machine until I move in a few months, so I can at least get a taste for it this way, and decide where to go from there. If I like it, I'll go Singer 99 and Complete Guide to Sewing, if I really really like it, I may go fancier. e: Didn't see this page  . Zantie posted:Maybe something like Step-by-step Guide to Sewing Techniques? Table of Contents has quite a few by Hand items listed. This looks really good too. I can probably pick this up as well as some cheapo fabric and just screw around to get a feel for a couple basic stitches before I try anything real.

So next week I'm hoping to make an apron for work following this pattern: http://www.purlbee.com/2011/08/11/mollys-sketchbook-adjustable-unisex-apron/ I'd just like to know if anyone has any particular tips regarding sewing aprons, specifically for a professional kitchen.

Thanks for the advice, finished it today! I did downsize the pattern for my tiny frame, and I feel like it came out really nice.
