By the time I got to Home Ec, I had been sewing for 7 years. I remember hating to make the useless padded clothes hanger required in Home Ec. I did learn quite a bit in the class, but the projects were silly. When I got to my senior year in another high school, I took Home Ec II because they offered fewer options and discovered how much difference a really good teacher makes. Mrs. Degrafenreid, let me choose my own projects and encouraged me to learn some fine tailoring. I benefited a great deal from her mentorship because she took me from where I was Encouraged me to expand and improve.
