I need a mentor and a person to teach me how to sew on the machine?

I am trying really hard to start promoting my clothing line and I'm having a bit of a problem... I do not posess any sewing skills on a machine only by hand really, I just recently lost my job and I am hanging on by a thread. I am holding on for dear life to pursure my life long dream and I know right now to some my hopes and dreams should be put on hold and people feel I should look for yet again another domestic job however I dont like working at a job I do not feel passionate about and have no interest in!!! Plus I want to be my own boss!!! I mean I am an aspiring freelance fashion designer and I have been in love with the creative process of garment construction (as I call it) since the early age of 7 {when I saw my mothers hand made light blue suede and leather trimmed jeweled encrusted peep toe 4 inch stilletos she attended Berkley college at the time} I am a very independent thinker as well as free spirited when it comes to fashion design and my choice of apparel!! I've always apprecitated fashion design for freedom of choice and brilliant creativity in clothing and various intricate designs and attention to detail and fabric selection and patterns.. I'm just completely fascinated with the world of fashion I am like a visionary in my own little world because everything surrounding me is art in its own form!! i design for all shapes and sizes and i create everyday couture with a kind of new york city street style meets meets japanese fashion!!!! my designs can be worn by the everyday male and female so please if anyone has any advice or would like to converse with me or would like to help me contact me by answering here or emailing me personally!!! email: BEF24Magalee@aol.com

1. Maybe put an ad on craigslist about this and what help you need and you might find someone locally to help you. Also, I bet a senior center would be a GREAT place to find someone to help you with sewing and those people are really needing to feel needed.
