Welcome to the forum @Gittje.  Your English is very good.  I’m sure you’ll find lots of help on here. 
Bruges is a favourite place of my brother's.  It always sounds wonderful, although he can’t eat chocolate so can’t do those wonderful shops!

Welcome @Gittje .  It's a long time since I was in Bruges; I don't recall any fabric shops as such but lots of shops with lace - and my daughter's MIL couldn't understand how I could spot the ones selling hand made lace from the other side of the road!  Lots of nice chocolate shops too, and cafés and seafood restaruants.  0_0

Welcome. Just strive for enjoyment and don't point out any imperfections in your work, no-one else will notice them. Mostly, good enough is good enough.

I am confident in joining this sewing forum, but not so much in my sewing capabilities. It's partly my fault: I am rather impatient by nature, want to master a skill in a short period of time and everything needs to be perfect.

I am glad that my husband likes to follow sewing courses (sewing techniques, pattern drawing & general sewing) so I can learn at home on our own sewing machines and get support from him  :loveit:

Welcome Gittje, your English is very impressive, you shouldn’t worry about perfection. It’s only by making mistakes that we learn how not to make them the next time. We had a lovely time in Bruges a few years ago.

Welcome @Gittje !  I am a beginner myself and am already learning a lot here. Do you know what type of things you want to sew (e.g. clothing, quilts, etc)?
You can't scare me. I taught high school for 32 years.
