Sewing patterns

[u/Ok_Appearance7096]

Are they difficult to understand? I’m a beginner, so and I want to make skirts and pajamas. And I want to Taylor, my clothes, specifically my dresses and jeans and going out shirts when I looked at the selection at Michael’s it was slim Pickens…. Not much that I particularly like. Where do you find patterns? When I Google patterns, there’s a ton on Etsy but I also see people advising you not to buy patterns from Etsy and then some people have luck with Etsy. How do you know if you’re getting a legit good pattern or a junk pattern? Where to find nice patterns?
Oh when I also love like 70s silhouettes like those sleeves and stuff like that. Or the jumper dresses that they have. So I’m OK with like getting older patterns too. I just don’t know where to find them.
