Hi, I'm new... / Re: Morning!

Unfortunately, I started with McCall's M6973 and had one hell of a time with the neckline. Avoid like the plague. There is technique to sewing stretch fabrics, it's brave step as a beginner.
The simplest male garment is probably a tee shirt, though that does mean working with stretchy fabric.
I'd suggest sewing a simple shirt pattern using cotton fabric. Maudella 5052 has worked well for me. It's always the collar that gets you, every design works differently, so hard to imagine how it will turnout. Simplicity 4760 is slightly easier, but the simpler design shows.
Kwik Sew K3884 is great for learning all about pockets.
