For the life of me I cannot remember what I made in my 7th grade home ec class, but I have always remembered the techniques the teacher taught us. I had not done a lot of sewing until I took up quilting a few years ago, but with what I learned in 7th grade I was able to make Halloween costumes for my kids and some clothes when needed. The teacher's name was Miss Penney and I have often thought of her through the years.
