Sewing...

I remember having sewing classes in a room full of ancient Singer sewing machines (operated by a foot pedal). The teacher had pre-cut enough dark blue and white checked material (nylon) for all the girls to stitch together smock tops. We also made glasses cases (just hand-stitching the sides of two pre-cut oval shapes together) and we also made little school bags, just big enough for a couple of books.

Most of us gave away the glasses cases as gifts, but we all turned up for school wearing our smocks and carrying our identical cloth bags for most of that term.
