Anyone available to teach sewing lessons?

 From Stephanie Kiser –
I thought there may be someone in church who would be willing to teach my daughter how to sew using patterns (and I would be happy to pay them).
If you are interested in teaching sewing please contact Stephanie at simonakiser@gmail.com.
