Beginner friendly patterns (lemm.ee)

Hi. I am a beginning sewist. I’ve sewed a hand full of small objects. Now I’m sewing my second garment using a commercial pattern. The pattern is rated easy. I am slowly getting through it. But I wish the directions were clearer. Does anyone have recommendations for patterns that are clear and specific for a beginner? Thanks.

I find that the patterns from Love Notions are pretty good especially if marked as easy, and I also made my first bag from a free Swoon pattern and it turned out great.

My go to for a ready to follow experience where I don't need to think twice on how the next step works is pattydoo. German tailor who makes great instruction videos and has fair prices (most pdf are 4€). She has good beginner friendly patterns

Even works when you get your pattern from somewhere else (use it in combination with freesewing.org a lot, making a pattern there that fits me 1:1 then go to pattydoo to see how to fiddle in the zipper on the jeans etc)
