I don't have kids, so no idea - but, when I was in high school, about a million years ago in the late 60's, we had Clothing 1 and II. I learned so much in those classes and remember the teacher very fondly. Made a coat - bound buttonholes, welt pockets, lining, padding stitches through the shoulders - completely tailored. I don't sew that way any more, and doubt that many home sewers do, but I loved it. Now I think twice before even setting in a sleeve.
