Hi I’m a 60 year that has never sewed till the Pandemic hit. Tried making masks by hand for the family and decided to buy my first sewing machine. Now I need to learn and know what I’m doing. I’ve been watching all the videos I can and there is so much to sewing that is so confusing. Tried to graduate to making pillowcases and they turned out okay but the material kept moving on me even though I pinned it a lot. So much to all the different fabrics, sewing techniques, what stitch to use, the length-width. Oh boy pretty overwhelming. Would Love to be able to make things for my grandchildren, kids, hubby and hopefully things for the home. Thank you!!

Aniko says
I would love to learn sewing online as I have a full time job and would fit my rota perfectly. However I have one question. Do any of these online courses give amy certificate once I complete the course? As I have no English certificate but only from my birth country and that is not really recognised here in the UK. So I would definitely need some sort of certificate that says I do have a basic knowledge to sewing. How is this part of the course works?
An says
These aren’t really sewing classes, they are just channels who have sewing tutorials…
