			<description><![CDATA[I absolutely despised my Home Ec classes but they were required for girls in 7th & 8th grades. My best friend in college was the son of a professional seamstress. He taught me how to make sense of commercial patterns. Now, I quilt wearable art. My old HomeEc teachers would be horrified if they ever saw all the rules I break. They taught us to insert pins across the seam lines and to sew over them. Finally, I got tired of replacing needles in my machines so now, I usually pull them out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oh, how I hated the wrist pincushion! The styles in the 50's were figure flattering, unlike many of today's styles. I loved home economics, but really wanted to take wood shop.( I could learn to cook and sew at home.) Back then only girls could take home economics and only boys could take shop classes. Now I love quilting and also a bit of wood work.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Brought back memories of 7th grade Sewing class. lol Although they insisted we baste then sew the zipper, which I never did, And even though I got an A for the completed projects, I got a C in the class because I didn't baste. lol I always sewed across the pins back then too! (still do sometimes,, very very slowly, ... shhh,, don't tell the sewing police! :) )]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[25 cent patterns! She sewed over pins rather than take them out! I was taught to press darts over a tailor's ham for proper shape. No interfacing on the neckline? I was taught to finish your seams as you worked, either using pinking shears, turn & stitch or zigzag.Also to prevent stretching at the waistline, adding a non-stretch tape over the seam. My first experience in sewing was a course at a Singer Store for a Girl Scout badge. I went on to take Clothing/Textil es in high school and junior college. It wasn't until I went away to a state college that I took Foods/Nutrition classes before graduating with my degree in Home Economics and after a year preparing me for the classroom I taught home economics on and off for the next 35 years.]]></description>
