It seems like we were always "making" something, too. Crafts, paint-by-number, Creepy Crawlers. Or those braided plastic rope things. How about gum wrapper chains???

Remember flipping through those huge pattern books(especially Simplicity Jiffy) and sewing our own creations for fun--a halter top, a skirt, a vest, a pillow?

And all of the girls had homemaking in school.

My grandma taught me sewing; but in home ec we made suits and big stuff!
