   Check with the Fabric Stores in your area, sometimes they sponsor classes.  That is how I learned to sew waaaaay back in the sixties!

   I was hoping to find something else - private lessons or class.

   Years ago there was a woman who had a studio in the back of

   her home where she taught dressmaking on an advanced level.

   (although she would take beginners too)

   Small classes, she had a bank of machines, and was wonderful

   at fitting.  That is the type of instruction I am looking for.  OR

   a good dressmaker !  Thanks anyway.
