A.
Hey Kathryn!
If you head along to your local haberdashery and pick up some thread and needles, you could start by making some really cute cushions and embroidering them. Then you'll end up learning little sewing stitches and patterns :)
You could also search the web for sewing blogs or even pattern cutting blogs (which you need to make clothes).
Pattern cutting is really tricky for absolute beginners! So I'd suggest learning cool embroidery patterns and different ways of customising clothes you already have.
For example, cutting the necklines in different ways, adding iron-on patches to jeans or skirts or getting an embroidery hoop and some thick colourful threads and let your imagine run wild!
Hope that helps!
Heidi :)
