In the HS school my youngest attended (she graduated in 2011)
She had a class called "Life 101" in this class they had to cook,
select fabrics for wardrobes, home decor, and other stuff.
I contacted the closest Middle & High Schools to put out "feelers"
to see if any of the students might be interested in learning how
to use a sewing machine (just u=the basic operation of one). None
of the students was interested, I even hung up a flyer near the mail
boxes of our condo complex only not just for young people. Still no
interest.
