i learned sewing in school, there's a subject that teaches how to sew.. you can get some patterns at http://www.allfreecrafts.com/sewing/index.shtml http://www.sewingpatterns.com/ http://www.freepatterns.com/list.html?cat_id=9
My mom taught me the basics of handsewing when i was 4 then taught me to use a machine when i was 7. After that I was on my own as she only made quilts and i wanted to make clothes. Drafted my first pattern when i was 13. Now I make all my own outfits. Tunics, wool skirts for winter, linen skirts for summer, purses and headbands for fun.
yeah its easy once u practice on some rags. initially it may be difficult but once u get a hold of it its easy.
