the home ec final sewing project required us to sew a complicated pattern and create something wonderful. being into basketball at the time, i chose to sew a plush basketball. it was supposed to turn out something like this:
but instead it turned out looking more like a deformed pumpkin. i think ms donovan, with her sense of humor, told me that it was the most original plush basketball she had ever seen. i tried to find it in my parents' house so i could share with you, dear reader. but alas, it seems to have bounced off (or maybe it was mistakenly carved).
ANYWAY, sewing. so i needed to sew a button on a jacket. what did i do? i went to my good friend youtube and found this video:
it was exactly what i needed. my button is back in service.

In my home ec class in 7th grade I picked out an 'ice cream sundae in a glass' pillow that was a birthday gift for my brother paul--it ended up looking like a half-crescent moon on one side, and a bumpy cluster of grapes on the other, and no indication of what the original design was supposed to be.
However, I did do a mean omelette. :)
No salt?! That seems like some form of child abuse ;-)
I thought my home ec class was kind of fun. I still remember some of the things we made - like apple turnovers, stuffed shells, and even donuts!
