mjeff87 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I learned how to sew in home ec way back in high school (and in the Army, lol). People may laugh, but it's a valuable life skill to have. My wife can't sew to save her life...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schardein Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I also took sewing in junior high. But I think I've forgotten most of it. I'd love to come across a machine big enough to sew canvas at a good (cheap) price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokinn Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I also took boy's home econ and learned to sew in HS also. The skill allowed me to reupholster my VW camper van. Get to keep some of my cotton clothes longer too. It's becoming harder to find stuff that isn't synthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I took sewing in middle school and I'm a lot younger than most of you. I remember nothing. My parents have a neat, very old, very heavy sewing machine that folds into a table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I have a wife and daughter that sew. I did not take anything like that in HS. AAMOF, my HS did not offer any home-ec classes. I went to a Catholic all boys school. Classes were all college prep type courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
