I just turned 30, but i started sewing when I was in high school. I made a quilt for my little brother as a project in home ec. Thats what started it all. I tried signing up for a home ec class that was all sewing ,but apparently I was the only one that signed up for it so i had to choose a different class. I was sad for weeks.
I think home ec classes should be mandatory. They teach you alot. I found out a couple years ago that they elimanated the home ec department at the school I went to. Now where are the kids going to learn about cooking, sewing, balenceing a checkbook?
