Wow, atrueamateur, way to be a buzzkill. Once OP learns the basics of cutting on grain and assembling with the machine, there is no reason why you can't try a simple unlined jacket. There are a ton of patterns out there for these kinds of jackets. Look at sewingpatterns.com and search on jackets. Don't try it without a pattern, and buy the pattern according to your measurements, not your RTW size. Once you get a little practice, you can look at on-line sources for instruction and at a book called Easy, Easier, Easiest Tailoring from http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Easier-Easiest-Tailoring-Palmer/dp/0935278095/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396641608&sr=8-1&keywords=easy+easier+easiest+tailoring It's old but the basics are there and the authors really demystify what atrueamateur is talking about. Go fo it!
I've used and like Alterations and Repairs, and Easy, Easier, Easiest Tailoring as far as resources go, but nothing will teach you tailoring better than simply doing it.
Pick up some cheap clothes at Goodwill (so the fear of "ruining" the garment doesn't paralyze you) and dive in. Yes, you will make mistakes. We all do. But that's part of learning!
Putting darts into blouses and pants is probably the most important and most common tailoring technique, aside from hemming. This no-tie finish for darts literally changed my life.
