YouTube is perfect for that tutorials. Not sure where to buy a machine though.

Oh great - thanks for the link.

If anyone knows of any sewing groups (I know..rock n' roll!) let me know. Would be nice to make learning to sew a social thing too......

Cheers :-)

My skills stretch to replacing a button or maybe fixing a hem..  :)

Not sure where you are but I was in the Signy center on Saturday, and there's a shop which sells wool, cloth, buttons, general stuff like that.. Outside the shop were maybe a dozen woman of various ages.  Most were knitting but some were doing other crafty things, it was like a social group.  It's probably more a knitting thing but it might be a start.

This seems to be what I saw on saturday, with some contact details.

Hi Liz,

Since few years beside studying and fulltime job i am sewing my own cloths too. since i arrived here ( Geneva) i thought to use my tailoring skill and help others who really need it, as you may know tailoring service is limit and expensive here in switzerland especialy in geneva.

here is my website link so if you need help i can help you for basic tailoring and can advice where you get materials.

Hi John and Mursal - thanks for your replies. 

I had a look at the link John - looks good! i'm going to keep an eye open for the next one.

Mursal - I would love to come and meet with you and perhaps you could show me what to do! Shall we fix a date?

Thanks everyone for your replies.... maybe I will post some pictures of the results :)) 

Hi Liz,

Yes sure, we can fix a date and then according to our schedules we will fix few visits and will teach/show you how to do the basic sewing.

Please reply to my inbox ;)

Hi Liz!

Did you end up setting up sewing lessons? I would love to join. I'm a complete novice but really want to learn!
