Hey! It’s not a bother at all! Pretty much all of my sewing skills come from this website: https://cholyknight.com/tutorials/ She has a BUNCH of free patterns, and they are all very very well explained.  If this is your first sewing machine, I recommend reading the manual that came with it (or looking up the manual online), especially the parts about threading the needle, needle selection (as far as I know, it should match the fabric you’re using), stitch selection, bobbin winding, and thread tension.  It sounds like a lot, but there are so many awesome how-tos online for all of it if you get stuck. If you search “machine name + whichever thing you’re having trouble with” you will probably find someone made a youtube video explaining exactly how to do the thing you’re trying to do with your sewing machine.  I started sewing exclusively with fabric I got from remnants bins. If you’re making stuffed animals, fleece and minky are good, but I’ve been told minky can be a pain to work with as a beginner. If you’re making not stuffed animals, I have very little advice, but hopefully someone else will chime in? Idk how feasible remnants bins are during the pandemic (are they...still doing them? idk) but if they are still extant Joann’s fabric remnants are I think half price and then frequently on sale for between 25-60% off of that. I got like a half yard of fleece for less than a dollar once.  I think that’s all I have advice-wise? Have fun! If you have a more specific question later on as you start to figure out what you like to make or which things you’re having trouble with, feel free to ask!

I kind of jumped straight in to sewing clothes for myself. (They weren’t good clothes, but they were clothes.) Normally I’d say to go to your local store & ask them for advice, but... Because I was still at home, I could ask my mom for advice, and I just grabbed some Simplicity beginner patterns. The instructions were almost enough for me to know what I was doing. (I might have been ok, but my mom wanted to make sure I did things properly, like which direction to sew in.) If you want to try clothes, there’s a lot of tutorials online for stuff like basic shorts or shirts. Pyjamas are a traditional place to start, because they aren’t out in public much.
