Learning to Sew?

Id really like to sew. I have a sewing machine that I bought at walmart on clearence. I dont have any patterns yet and dont know much. It still sits in the box. I would really like to learn how to make cloth diapers, cloth wipes, bibs and breast pads before the baby is born in augest. I probably dont have much time, LOL. But I was wondering what I should start out with and if anyone has any tips for me or advice? Thanks

The Kwik Sew Book Sewing for Babies would be a good place to start. Kwik sew has a great line of "learn to sew" patterns that are very easy to use.

do you know someone who sews?
Maybe they can give you a few lessons and you'll learn how to read patterns too.
