Blue Thimble Recommends this great little article from Threads Magazine about Sewing Education

MANY SCHOOLS DON’T TEACH SEWING
It saddens me that sewing isn’t taught in many schools today, and if it is, it’s often taught only to those students who plan to continue their education in areas such as fashion or textile design. Thankfully, there are 4-H, Girl Scouts, and other programs that are filling the void where the schools have slacked off. We do see some signs that sewing is on the upswing. TV shows such as “Project Runway” in the United States and “The Great British Sewing Bee” in England have encouraged the trend, and hopefully will continue to do so.
