In HomeEc in 1960, we had to make a dress for the year. We started with a skirt which had waist band and a hidden zipper (not invisible). The dress had set-in sleeves, knife pleats, placket, collar, and button holes! I think we covered all the hard things to do in sewing! My Mom picked the dress fabric (cotton which had to be starched and ironed) of a bright yellow color! I wore it for the fashion show in HomeEc but never again!!! I'm glad I had the privilege of taking HomeEc and got to learn a lot of Latin when I was in college for Nursing. The sewing has served me well over the years and of course, the Latin paid off as well. Life is good and I'm thankful for dedicated, hard -working teachers over my life time...
