Spotlight has some easy patterns on its website that you can download.
I started sewing when I was about 12. My favourite thing I have ever made was a double bed doona. Just cut up a lot of squares in different colours (mainly blues & yellows, my favourite combo) which gave me heaps of straight lines to practise on. Made up the 2 sides, sewed them together and used little press studs to hold the open side closed (like a normal doona).
My best ever birthday present was a second-hand overlocker. I was 15 when I got it and it still works. Yah for Janome technology!!!
DH used my good mundials on leather they have never been the same since. The stick to use and it hurts me to use them for long periods. Don't know if I can get the fixed or if I am better off buying a new pair. There are some nice sets out there and I do need a new embroidery pair. Was a bad girl myself and used my embroidery pair for some unpicking, they work very well for that
OMG I'm so excited thinking about all the stuff I can make now!! I was just thinking I could make my own wet bag and change mat!! Do they sell PUL at spotlight?
Im pretty sure PUL needs to usually be ordered online. Do a search engine for 'greenbeans nz' . They are very good for buying nappy things like PUL, snap press, bamboo, fleece etc.
You can certainly teach yourself. If you get stuck you can search for tutorials online. And if you have a local sewing shop (an independent, not spotlight or lincraft) most run classes really cheap
You can borrow books from the library that show you how & you can purchase beginner patterns from the sewing counter
