Is sewing taught in your local school system? - Threads

I thought this article was very interesting. I don't know
of a school in Gwinnett County that teaches Sewing do you?

I do feel sewing is being re-birthed. Especially, since Project
Runway started airing. What are your thoughts?

What's Happening
