In a funny bit of timing, I lost a button on an otherwise fine shirt last night and had to fix it
Are any of these sewing skills taught at School any more. I remember using a sewing machine at school to make a Kitchen Apron before everyone ventured into the
home economics class.
I remember making a pair of shorts (or maybe they were supposed to be pants?) that didn't fit well at all
. My skills certainly haven't improved since; I can do rudimentary repair work by hand but that's about it.
I know my son's school still has a home economics class, I recall him talking about some of the cooking classes. I am pretty sure there was (or will be) a sewing component too, but I'll have to double check that.
This novel probably isn't on anyone's English literature reading list anymore just as with the 'Lord of the Flies'.
You may be right, but to be fair that wasn't the setting I read a
Brave New World in (or most of the good/important books I've read in my life, for that matter).
