Hi everyone,

I was wondering if someone could reccomend some sewing patterns (name brands, maybe) that are the easiest for beginners to start on. I want to start teaching myself how to make things. I know the basics on how to sew, having done straight lines, patches, and the like for years on my mom's machine. The thing that mystifies me is patterns, though: how to use them, how much fabric to buy, and so on. Any suggestions? I'd love to hear about beginners' sewing exploits.
