I had sewing lessons in primary school in early 90s in Poland. It was compulsory, on "practical technics" lessons. Other subjects covered were: reading 3d schemas, making some wooden toys, basic electric projects (make engine turn both ways with switches), making pancakes, making christmas tree decorations, such stuff. It lasted for 2 years and was pretty fun. The worst thing was learning "technical script" where every letter had to be perfectly written on a milimeter grid. I never understood the point of it, but the rest was pretty useful. I was awful at it, but I learnt how to do it and I (badly) sewed a lot of things through my life. Mostly buttons :)
