yeah we also had PE. I hated it. Drilling every year. :(
I can't imagine charging people for embroidery hoops the way I see on Insta etc, tho I'm sure there must be a market among the yuppies. Breaking into it is my side-hustle plan.
And, I mean, these shops won't stitch you just anything on commission, but people who take Home Science in IX-XII have set work prescribed by the relevant boards of education, so the shops where you can go to buy supplies will happily take your money and churn out socks or kids' sweaters, etc. They aren't tailoring shops. I do find it very strange how rare tailoring is in the US; so much so that--like hand-embroidery--it seems either prestigious or quirky to get clothes locally tailored, while here getting them from a mall is extremely cool for the middle-class.
