welcome Marion! Not sure where you reside, but sadly sewing is becoming a dying art & it can be difficult to find teachers. Have you checked your local (if you have them locally) Hancock Fabrics, Joanns, and/or Hobby Lobby? On the hancockfabrics.com website, go the Class Finder at the bottom, punch in your zip code and it should pull up the closest location to you. On joann.com, same thing, go to the bottom of the home page and select classes, then find the one you want. Don't forget to try your local independent fabric or sewing machine stores, they often have classes.

Also, you could put a request on craigslist.org, there may be someone in your community that can help you. Or even ask when you're at your store, check if they have a board where people post work/jobs needed. Youtube has some great info too, but in person is really best for beginner sewing IMHO.

I never learned to sew in home ec, did learn to cook though & lucky for me, as my mother had no interest in teaching me any home skills. Worn out from raising 6 boys & 1 girl, she had all the skills and no desire to pass them on! I didn't even know how to sew a button till I was an adult. Good luck Marion, hope you find a class.

Hi Marion!

I just did a check on YouTube and they have loads of sewing instructional videos. I've used them for knitting and crochet instruction, so if you can't find "live" sewing teachers, give these videos a try.

Thank you jomuir and elisamcs for responding

Also check your adult classes at the colleges in your area.Ours here have them every year.
