I tried the sewing classes for a while. It seems the kids now have so much on their plate, with homework, sports, and just life in general, that the sewing lessons took a back seat to all that. I had more cancellations at the last minute than I actually had sewing lessons. The Viking Sewing Gallery gave my name out. People were gung ho for the first couple lessons, but that dwindled rather quickly. They expect to be able to make their own prom dress after the first lesson.
My grandsons learned the sewing basics in middle school and in high school they actually have a cooking class where they concentrate on various ethnic foods from week to week. I am confident they will be able to take care of themselves when they are on their own.
