Is it easy to learn how to sew?

It's such a pain not being able to stitch a button back on or fix holes in soft toys/clothes etc. I'm saving loads of DD's clothes because I'd love a patchwork quilt made of her old things, but I want to do it myself. Is it really easy to learn?

This www.sewingmachines.co.uk/janome_sew.htm is a fantastic site, really good service, very helpful plus you get the most enormous load of cottons and scissors FREE with each order. After sales is brillint. I have linked you to the janome page because I have one and it's great. i also have a brother that is good but needs a repair and i haven't got round to it yet! Good luck!

Just spoken to my Grandma for advice on sewing/machines, she says she can't help with machines as she bought hers in the 60's and it's still going strong. She then had the idea of going to Harrogate so now we're going to the Harrogate craft fair in November :)
