Learned to sew in 4-H and watching mom. Did make one apron in Jr High home ec, basically they taught enough that we could sew if had to. In high school was told to take bookkeeping instead of home ec as it would do me more good, fun thing was I ended up a Fashion Merchandising major in college. They didn't teach you to sew you needed to know how before the class, as they asumed you already knew.
