Complete Newbie Looking for Resources

Hi everyone,

I am a complete sewing newbie. My sewing history only involves taking in clothing by hand, cross-stitching as a hobby, and embroidery. I'd like to learn to sew clothing, but I have no idea where to start. I tried looking up YouTube videos, but got very confused. There are so many videos, and they were often contradictory. Sewing classes in my area are too expensive for me at the moment. I'm not opposed to spending some money to get learn or get some training, but a couple of hundred is waaayyy out of budget for me. Does anyone have an idea of what would be a good starting point for me? I am also open to any websites, books, videos, or other resources that may have helped you when you started your sewing journey. Thanks in advance for your time and help.
