Learning how to sew by hand

In fourth grade at my village school, the girls had

sewing classes. Imagine how strange it was for me

to see some of these exhibits at the local history center

in Horten - just the kind of projects we had to do

and in the same materials!

I still do not understand why, but we had to sew

everything by HAND!

Then the year after, in fifth grade, we started

cooking classes, only the girls.

But two years later a political decision had been made

and from then on both girls and boys took the

cooking classes.
