It has a LOT to answer for :o(<br />We did a few embroidery classes in junior school, and I still have the 'sampler' I made there. Senior school was, like yours teaching how to make clothes, the first was an apron (a horrible yellow and white gingham thing that traumatised me against gingham for life!), then an 'A' line skirt, later, on to blouses and dresses. I have mixed feelings about these classes, I cannot remember being too enthraled by them though - I much prefered 'Domestic Science'....now THAT ages me!Rose H (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03502158211136467582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837686003031472828.post-39734472815400293182012-05-27T20:01:05.930+01:002012-05-27T20:01:05.930+01:00Fortunately, like you, I'd learned to stitch b...Fortunately, like you, I'd learned to stitch before school lessons.

I also remember being very disappointed with my exam result after all the work I put into it. I can't ever remember wearing anything I made except a lovely dress using Laura Ashley style material (blue with little white flowers). I was so pleased with it and came across a picture of me wearing it recently with my school friends.Jacqui Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038592471390559822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837686003031472828.post-74762784129532159662012-05-27T14:46:59.134+01:002012-05-27T14:46:59.134+01:00you must really treasure those- memories of what y...you must really treasure those- memories of what you enjoyed. I remember my first textiles class at secondary school- i was thinking i might learn something useful like making a dress or something- but no we cut out odd bits of fabric- and in really horrible eighties fashions and made a small patchwork cushion. you couldnt take art and textiles it was either art and drama or cookery, so i didnt get to do textiles until college...though i did enjoy drama, so wasnt too sad and art was my main interest. im rambling on!! hehe...I would have loved to have done a sampler as a child/teen. I have started one now in my 30's and it takes patience. but i found a lovely old samplers book in the charity so its given me ideas/inspirations.<br /><br />happy sunday to you xCountry Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928461971291765354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837686003031472828.post-27282164060045937592012-05-27T14:04:30.938+01:002012-05-27T14:04:30.938+01:00There's something really special about a well ...There's something really special about a well loved stitching book,I have a few of them the belonged to my late Mil.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863899802782756191noreply@blogger.com
