My name is Alysha, I am wanting to learn to sew! I am a beginner, I have a brother TY400G sewing machine. I am happy to travel for lessons, or I live in St Kilda East and am happy to have lessons at my place! Would love to start lessons as soon as possible. I also have a friend who would like to learn and is also a beginner, would you ever do a lesson with two people? After work on a week night would be our preferred times.
