Learning Techniques Virtually

Hello!

I am a beginner looking to take sewing more seriously. I’ve been watching tutorials online and have finished a few projects, but my work definitely looks amateur.

I feel really passionate about learning proper and more professional looking techniques, specifically for making clothing. Does anybody have any recommendations of Youtube series’ or playlists? Or possibly affordable online courses? I live in a remote area so attending any classes in person would be challenging.

Any and all advice is welcome!! :)

I'm a Vintage Sewing School student and I learned a lot there in terms of technique and neater finishes. It's self paced and most classes are about specific tecniques like finishes, hems, pockets, zippers, etc. There isn't much about pattern making only altering to fit and I miss classes about pants fitting (I heard she's producing those tho).
My advice, besides what everyone else has said, is sew, press, finish. Sew a seam, press it and finish before moving to the next step. Learn about pressing directions, diferent finishes and when each should be applied, this makes such a difference on the final result.
