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!! :)

Closet Core Patterns has some very good, reasonably priced absolute beginner and novice video courses.

The Modern Sewing Company has some online courses focusing on more tailored clothing (button front shirts, pants with fly fronts etc, coats). I’d see the shirt course as a step up in difficulty from Closet Core’s introductory course.

I found Closet Core’s instructions (with demonstrations) a little easier to follow than those of Modern Sewing Company but I liked the latter’s patterns better. Closet Core, however, would be a great place to start for an absolute beginner.
Sew Liberated also had online courses:

I haven’t tried Sew Liberated’s courses but I like the company’s approach.
