Oh boy. Another quilter who wants to cross over.
Welcome! Please go find Simplicity sewing, maybe at library or on eBay. Ask at LQS is anyone would be interested in teaching. I'm sure a long time sewer could walk you through a simple pj, sundress or shirt pattern to get you started. Good luck.
Sewing is fun and rewarding, but harder to find dressmaker fabrics now as no one wants to really spend the time or money. Persevere and you'll have fun.
