I sewed this dress in a Grade 11 Home Economics class.
Besides preparing students to take up Pilgrimage or follow in the footsteps of the Duggar family, Home Ec is also where I learned that the secret ingredient to homemade Mac ‘N Cheese is mustard. And looking back at what I learned in high school, I’m quite certain that learning how to make bread-crumb coated Mac ‘N Cheese from scratch was all that my brain retained. Well, that and how much fun it was to play with ramp-y things that create inertia in advanced physics and that no amount of heat can burst a fireproof beaker. Oh! And how to make bong.
Are you shocked yet that I moved on to college to graduate top of my class in Mineral Engineering and end up on the Presidents Honour Roll? Yeah, me too.
But damn can I ever bake a make a mean dish of Mac N Cheese.
I personally don't think it is all that bad...I mean, have you seen the dresses on the Duggar girls? They are not that short and their dresses don't even compare! Way to go! I like it.
I actually like that dress! I didn't take Home Ec at school ~ I took woodwork (ha ha ) ~ and we made a tray!!?? This probably explains the reason that I cannot cook or sew anything..... I am loving these blasts from the past and will check back for the next one. Love and hugs Tab XXXX
Are you going to take down Dawn's blog link from your site? Sad you weren't able to connect since none of us in the blogosphere actually know her. Checking her page every day to see if she's OK, and seeing that her page hasn't been updated is concerning.
