Hi Jordan, Might be worth putting an ad on Gumtree, or similar, asking if someone could teach you to sew one on one. Are there any sewing courses at the local college or uni - night courses? If not then you can probably teach yourself. Get a book…

I think that you must visit Real Woman Jeans to find out the latest designers and their advice.

I would love too, but having a 4 year old and 7 month old and a hubby for a soldier it makes it impossible, although I will keep that in mind when we move to my hubby's next station. Thanks again!

I am not sure if you have interest in moving for your career, but if you would not mind moving, you may want to take college courses at a school such as FIT in NY or FIDM in California (or another fashion school). There are several good schools in…

Sewing Lessons

I live in Hinesville,GA which is about and hour from Savannah,GA.  I was wondering if any of you knew of any sewing lessons or classes being offered that are affordable.  I can't seem to find any myself and I have searched the internet countless times!  ThanksJordanSee More

Thank you I will do that. I have searched on the internet and the closest I can find is Atlanta which is 5 hours from me. The ones in Savannah, GA which is an hour from me are way out of my price range!

About Me ...
I'm 21 years old and I have attended technical colleges, but this year is my first in an Art Institute. Right now I'm working on Fashion Retail & Management, but I also design clothing as well. I'm getting better with my drawing skills, but would really love some sewing classes. I love the Roaring 20's and the 40's. I can't wait to be able to get my work out there!!
