/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hi, I don't really visit this board at all so hopefully you won't shout me out for asking to be spoonfed like this, but I'd really like to get into tailoring/sewing and so I figured I'd ask here. I intend to actually study to be a tailor next year, but for now I'd like to just get stuck in and learn as much as I can on my own.
For now I'm mostly interested in making some basic clothes, shortening some of my pants and perhaps making simple tapestries.
So, with a budget of about 500-600€, what sewing machine and other supplies should I get? What are some good books and/or online tutorials that you'd recommend?
