Today if anything needs to be stitched I give it to my husband. I hated needlework in school and I always will hate it. Today if anything needs to be stitched I give it to my husband.

SUPW!! That was it! Socially Useful Productive Work, I think. I can't for the life of me remember if the guys in my class did the jabla. I clearly don't remember it (or have blocked it from my memory). I will need to ask them.</p> <p>@Fourth Ump - sounds awfully equitable to me. I have to see the cushion at some point. Can you upload an image? :)</p> <p>@Karthik - Yes, those classes made me hate going to school too. Although I think I used the classes to catch up with friends as we stenciled the jabla out on brown paper... </p> Guys, you don’t know how it warms my heart to know that you suffered with me! :D

We even made jam from scratch, I remember, apart from knitting a sweater (I made gloves) from just a pattern book. We also had to metalwork and carpentry, but the home ec classes really made me hate going to school... :) I definitely had to do Home Ec classes.

I'm proud to have aced them both as well - my Duncan Fearnley cricket bat cushion was a particular highlight. Woodwork, Metalwork, Plastics - everyone did it all.

I remember we had a course called SUPW in which we made home decorations items and even stitched a small sweater (my mom did that for me anyway but it was in the curriculum. I think everyone should be taught at least the basics like stitching and cooking...helps in future :) Guys were too made to learn lot of arts related to stitching (can’t recall exactly).
