Are you sure you just don't remember the full course? Ours did sewing and cooking but also how to write a check, budget, etc. There was also a section on interpersonal relationships and a section on nutrition. We made cinnamon rolls instead of pretzels though.
In my school, what you are describing was in a personal finance class, what the parent comment is describing was called home ec. The personal finance class was required and home ec was not.
I don't think we had a personal finance class, but if so, I didn't take it. My home ec class covered budgeting, sewing, cooking, nutrition, interpersonal relationships, safe sex, etc. Home ec was required. We baked once and sewed one project.
We also had an elective domestic arts class that was half sewing and half cooking. The cooking portion had us make a different recipe every week. The sewing portion had us sew hoodies, pajama pants, embroidery, etc. If you didn't take domestic arts, then you had to take CAD.
