My first year in home ec - 7th grade, I think! The first thing we made was pillow cases. But then, we advanced into clothing --skirt and blouse. The first thing we were taught when we started the actual garment construction was how to adjust the pattern to fit each individual. The patterns were a guide, but not a be-all, end-all thing. I think I had a very good home ec teacher! And, remember, this was back in the late '50's, early 60's!
