Home Ec
posted in substance on Aug 28, 2009 for theme: back to school
Truly, home ec is not an area in which we shine, but Home Ec? Well, that’s a whole other subject.
This L.A.-based craft shop and workshop offers dozens of classes where you can learn skills in embroidering, needlefelting, papier-mache – you name it, they’ll teach you how to do it. They also sell a lovingly-curated selection of beautiful yarns and fabrics which make even beginner projects look advanced.
If you can’t make it to the store, no worries. The Home Ec website features great patterns and kits you can easily follow at home. We really want to make the Amy Butler High Street Messenger Bag, and love that there’s a complete kit to sew up our own much-needed Lavender Eye Pillows and DIY Log Pillows which would be perfect thrown around the house this winter.
If only home ec had always been presented this way…
