Our church had a thing yesterday where a woman came in who makes pillowcase dresses for orphans in Guatemala. First of all, I’d promoted it as a good way to learn to sew hoping we’d get a few teens. We got one mom and her 10-year-old who did a great job for never having sewn before, but no teens or young adults. Second….one of our attendees is one of the custodians at the local public school. She told me that the home ec. dept. (or whatever it’s called these days) doesn’t even have sewing machines any more. They’re all in a storage shed and have been for years. So terribly sad, in my opinion.
