beginners guide sewing

Good resources for beginning sewer?
I'm just starting to learn how to sew clothing (skirts in particular). I have my mom to guide me, but what are some good websites/books that are good for beginners? If you sew, what is a good tip or something you wish you knew when you first started? I'd like to research a little, instead of just jumping right in.
Look this over for the basics - http://www.simplicity.com/index.cfm?page=section/classroom/sewinglessons/sewing101hp.cfm
Threads Magazine has an on-line tips section - http://www.threadsmagazine.com/tips-and-tricks
