I think the biggest mistake was taking home ec. out of school ciriculum[spelling] My oldest daughter learn to sew.and make a quilt in H.E.my youngest learned in school also. They are both beautiful sewers. Even the boys were allowed to take a class like such. Now they don't even know how to sew a button on. What a shame. It is up to grandma's or great grandma's to try and instill it this generation,
