Two resources I would like to recommend -

Basic sewing (for garments) that doesn't skip small steps: Meghan Grace DIY on Youtube (Back To Basics Playlist)
- Really detailed walkthrough of sewing from commercial patterns and doing basic sewing. This was very useful when I was a beginner.

Flat Pattern Textbook: Patternmaking for Fashion Design
- There is a learning curve to using this book and wrapping your head around flat pattern, but absolutely key to me for learning patternmaking. It uses the slash-and-spread method (you draft a set of base patterns and then make copies that get cut up to make new patterns that always fit the original measurements -- No re-drafting!).
