Some of our best DIY project posts came way by special guests post from local Los Angeles crafting specialist and friend, Jenny Ryan. If you're ever in the vicinity of Silver Lake's Sunset Junction, it's highly recommended you drop by her new shop, Home Ec., a crafter's shangri-la. Jenny took time to discuss her new store, recommendations and advice about setting up a crafting space below…

My son & I stopped in a few weeks ago (there is a comic book store next door to placate him) and this store is stocked with fantastic Kokka fabrics from Japan which were priced accordingly (the same as Superbuzzy or Michael Levine's downtown, but without the hassle.)
It was nice to be able to shop in the neighborhood, and the owner was very knowledgeable and nice to boot.
I'm not sure about the whole class pricing thing, but honestly in this economy learning to sew seems like a good thing to know!! MissMatlock on Oct 10, 2009
Eighty bucks for anything in this economy is pretty steep, I'll agree. But it's a cost/benefit thing. I'm not an elitist with disposable income, but like a lot of people, I have a couple of inexpensive indulgences here and there that add up. It pains me that I buy terribly constructed mall clothes instead of saving my money and taking another dress class here.
ANYWAY, Home Ec is on my way home and I love passing by that window. The storefront is becoming the podiatrist foot sign for me, only homey and comforting. And the fabric selection is fabulous. wendysugarpusher on Oct 10, 2009
