Oh, good, a man. It's nice to get men in the room! Tell him that my
father, husband, and father-in-law (all engineers) were surprised to find
that they enjoyed my lectures because I explained the structural
engineering aspects of clothing construction; they all said it was the
first time they found sewing interesting.

Although it was a little weird to be demonstrating the bust-supporting
aspects of the fitted dress when you know your parents *and* your in-laws
are in the audience (which happened a year or two ago, when I finally gave
the series within driving distance of our hometown). Try telling your mom
that you go on these weekend trips so that you can jump up and down on a
stage while a roomful of paying customers stare at your bosom...
