The purpose of this study was to examine how primary school children who had already fi nished learning about textile topics during Home economics instruction perceived the content of the textile module. Some topics which can be connected with development of sustainable thinking and prudent consumer behaviour were also researched. A total of 106 surveys were collected. The pupils were on average 10.5 years old. The results showed that the pupils were reasonably interested in handicrafts. Most respondents agreed that mastering skills such as sewing or knitting is good because these activities allow pupils to save money and also to express their creativities. The results showed that the transfer of theoretical knowledge in practice is not optimal. Some improvements in the curriculum should be considered in terms of refreshing/updating the textile topics and also the time duration of the textile module.
