My Charlotte blogging buddy Teresa gave me the inspiration for today's post. She posted about her and her niece getting a sewing machine for Christmas.
She made a pair of pants and was asking what else to make. She also mentioned that she had not sewn since Home Economics class in 7th grade. Well guess what?! Me either!
I seriously can't sew a button(I've tried). The seamstress in our house is Brad! He even mentioned he wouldn't mind having a sewing machine! WTH!?
Going back to the Home Economics class. I totally remember taking it. The first half of the year was the cooking portion(which I loved) and the 2nd half was the sewing(which I hated). My Mom even finished my project for me. My brother was in the class during that same time and made a better grade then me!
My Mom was/is a master seamstress and used to make all of our clothes. Like this little gem of a dress. Forget that I was in a totally awkward stage in life and have bruises all over my legs from playing outside.
Yep.. pink.
My question is -- do you remember taking Home Economics and do schools still even offer it? It is basic things you need to know in life. I hear some colleges actually offer something like this to freshman to teach them how to do laundry, etc.
Different Generation I suppose.
Well, that's all I have for today!
