In my Home Ec class we had to make an item of clothing. I chose to make a dress with a sweet heart neck line, with wide crossing straps at the back and have it tailored through the waist to a lovely flair skirt – all in a heavy white material. It was actually wearable for a good many years until I gave it away to a charity shop. A couple of years later I'm watching a drag queen performance to see MY dress being swished around in on stage. It's amazing what a feather boa can do..!!

In sewing class I made a maroon corduroy duffel bag. That took me all semester to do. And got a D. I did make some superb snickerdoodles, however.

This made me laugh out loud. My 8th grade experience in Home Ec consisted of making cookies and sewing some silly stuffed mouse pillow.

Ok, I would love to know tho… how DO you wash a boys red and white striped rugby shirt and how do you get the ‘pink’ out when you mess this up! LOL!

Great article!
