Hi, was wondering if there are any places in Brandon that teach sewing classes?

I looked in the fall and I wasn't able to find anyone. I hope you do because I'd love to go to classes myself

What kind of things are you interested in learning to sew? I have taught lots of 4-H sewing classes but I am wondering what kind of need is out there.

If you are interested in quilting, there is a group of ladies who are 'As the Crow Flies' and they have workshops twice a year.

Momma Bears (on 12th st I think)

Give Joanne a call 204-729-8914, She may be able to help with basic sewing classes.

I was just wondering this myself yesterday lol

I'm not sure if they still offer it, but I took a basic sewing course at ACC quite a few years ago, was great.

I've always done my best learning by necessity. If my trail shoes fell apart during an excursion, I'd sew them together or do the necessary adjustment to them. When I decide I want to learn how to stitch leather, I go get some leather and do that. There are a number of ways you can teach yourself that can be liberating, and very self fulfilling. Like picking up a needle and thread, and stitching things. Get your single hitch and double hitch stitches down, and your golden.  
You can also go on youtube and watch videos on anything. Practically, any how to video that you ever want. And even more of those same videos you don't want to watch. Pick and choose. A few minutes spent studying will enhance your outcome, naturally.  
I'm guessing you want to use a machine for sewing? If that's the case, I can't help you there. haha!
