We made an apron. It was gathered. It had long ties with 1/4 inch hems. We had to baste those things! It had a waistband that we attached the gathered skirt to. It was hideous.
Then we made dirndl skirts with waisband and button closure. I think some of us actually wore those skirts.
My daughter made a stuffed toy for her home-ec project. She did an excellent job on it.
Some of the girls that are "home-schooled" that are being taught by Kathy at the Church in Florida are doing fantastic things! Stuffed toys, moccasins, dresses, bags , baby booties - I am very impressed by what they are doing. One of the graduates is now attending a school of design school. One of the "patrons" of the sewing group gave her a torso/mannequin as a graduation gift.
