not really, you need to know how to properly feed a machine before you start with stretch fabrics or you'll just frustrate yourself.

if you take a serious industry sewing class they don't even start you on garments, or even on fabric, they actually give you paper with lines on it and tell you to sew on the lines, then they move you to sewing muslin squares together, then they teach you things like darting and zipper applique on muslin squares, before they give you simple wovens to construct. if that sounds boring, just get a button shirt pattern and have at it, but expect to decide that it isn't really wearable :)

tbh, it might be a good idea to cop a pattern for like children's clothes so you can do a bunch of them with less fabric, and when you have something you'd actually wear if you fit into it, feel free to take a stab at whatever you like.

>patterns

look up costuming patterns for waistcoats

>fabric

no idea, but if you can draw or know someone who can draw it's possible to have small batches of fabric digitally printed for very little money.
