beginner friendly sewing...clubs? coaching?

hello everyone! i have adhd and have decided to entertain my latest impulse which would be crafting a prayer mat for a friend. the problem is i have no idea how to sew and don't really know what i'm doing.

does anyone know of a place that's very beginner friendly and would happily offer some coaching/mentoring/guidance to a young lad wanting to surprise his friend with a gift? i can pay for my own fabric, string, needles, etc but would really appreciate someone to hold my hand through the process
