Other suggestions?

Thought I'd ask around here as well:

Do you have any suggestions for beginner friendly #sewing patterns for tops? I want to make some of my own clothes, already accumulated a fabric stash but can't seem to find the right patterns to get started.

Most of my fabrics that I have are woven, but there are 1 or 2 jerseys as well. Indie patterns are preferred, but suggestions for commercial ones or books are welcome too

hey does anyone know about #sewing clear vinyl or any sort of clear material to fabric?

edit: now my question is, where the heck do i get vinyl? its something that would go on a bag but i don't thiiiink it'd need to be super heavy duty
