My school was fairly old-fashioned in that regard. We also had compulsory classes for art and singing and dancing--at all of which I am awful--grades V through VIII. However, most schools and boards in India do have at least an optional craft class, so idk. You guys have shop and home ec, right? Something like that.

I grew up cross-stitching, but that was honestly more my grandfather than my school. Most girls, I imagine, either had their mothers do the lot, or paid the local craft-stores.
