My mother sewed my sisters and my summer clothes when we were young. We used to have a library by us that had sewing lessons every week, and I went for years. Sewed most of my own clothes when I was younger and thinner. I went to a small Catholic High School that was above a church. Only about 200 girls in the whole school. We had sewing Freshman year, and that was it. Easiest A I ever got. We had no cooking classes. I tell DH that is why I don't cook to this day. Luckily, he loves to cook, and does about 95% of it.
