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......

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.

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.

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.

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.
