I beg to differ. Knitting, sewing, crochet, crossstitch, quilting, rug making and I don't know what all is more popular than ever, IMO. Now people do it because they WANT to, not because they have to. I know very, very few women who don't do some sort of handiwork.
What's more, nowadays with JoAnn's and even libraries offering classes, anyone wanting to learn usually can. Sure didn't happen when I was a kid. You learned from a family member or friend back then
