Tilly And The Buttons:
Tilly And The buttons is the next website reviewed in this list to learn sewing online. The name of the website is as catchy and attractive as the website itself. It has a great looking interface and lots & lots of tutorials for you to learn from. The Learn To Sew tab on this website contains a long list of written tutorials. You can learn various things from how to thread your sewing machine to how to sew a skirt, or a particular type of shirt, and much more. The written lessons are accompanied by images at every step.

eSewing Workshop:
eSewing Workshop is the fourth website reviewed in this list to learn sewing online. The website has free video chapters on various aspects of sewing and you can watch and learn. There are multiple video chapters and each has around 15-20 videos on an average. However, you will not be able to view all these videos as not all of them are free. But, still a lot of them can be seen by you as free sample videos in every chapter. The link above will directly take you to the page where you can view the list of these video chapters.
eSewing Workshop is a decent platform if you are a beginner. I say this only because there are limited free videos available. They are enough to help you learn the basics, but I doubt if they would be of much use after that.

From learning to sew cushions to costumes, the website has over 400 free tutorials for you to learn from.
