I am so thankful that HE was offered when I was in HS. My mom didn't sew. She bought a treadle machine so she could learn how to sew, but didn't learn how. I learned a lot in that class and went on to use the treadle after learning how to read a patten and cutting it out. Wish I had that machine today. After marrying I continued to sew garments for myself and pants and shirts for my boys; I made sports jackets and pants with vest and tie to match when they were 2, 3, and 5 years old, leisure suits later on, and the last was a two piece suit for each when they were in JR High until they didn't want mom sewing their clothes any more. I have made curtains and drapes for all the rooms in my house, bedshirts to match the curtains, sofa fitted slipcovers and now I have gotten into quilting for the past 2 years.
