/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm interested in getting into sewing, though I'm lost on what sewing machine to get.
I eventually would like to make my own clothes, but I figured I'd start small and make doll clothes first.
I'd like something long lasting obviously, but also I have no much home space.
So something overly large wouldn't be ideal.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
My budget isn't anything too low, but I'd prefer around $200. I'm willing to go higher, of course, for something that fits my needs more.
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.
