Home Ec Workshop

I am posting a few of the things that I have made over the past year that I have been taking classes at Home Ec. Each and every piece is something that I started--and finished--during a class that I took. I had been trying to get my quilting mojo back for over a year when I took my first class. No joy. But really the moment I started taking classes, I was back. it has been fantastic.

If you are looking for a place where you can let your hair down and also get back to your natural roots, then set yourself up here. You won't be disappointed. The new location has plenty of space for sewers, knitters and quilters alike. The staff are knowledgeable, generous with their time and loving of your work. The fabric selection is outstanding with most of it from Japan, so you know you will be making something that nobody else will have. You won't be disappointed and will learn several skills to take with you for a long time coming.

essential!!! magical!!! wonderful!!!! come here for all of ur craft needs & to be around other craft lovers!

I love Home Ec- the fabrics and yarn are beautiful and thus I purchase nearly all my sewing and knitting supplies at Home Ec even though I live in Georgia! Can’t get too much of a good thing 🧡

Lovely place with a genuinely friendly and helpful proprietor! Nice space to sit and talk to over crafters, too. Absolutely gorgeously curated offering of fives and colors for knitting.

My favorite yarn store ever! I've been coming here for years throughout undergrad and Codi and the whole team have always welcomed me with a smile. Amazing selection, including some local indie dyers, and always at fair prices. Now that I've moved away from Iowa City, this is definitely one of the places I miss most.

What a gem this place is for fabric crafters and sewers. Excellent warm welcoming space. Work tables. Sewing machines. Bring your own supplies, work on your projects. Drop in or make appointments. Very skilled staff advises on best methods, helps beginners, suggests options. Can't recommend it enough! Want to take some classes!

This is a nice fabric store. Love the nice quality of them , very friendly staff. My favorite stop in Iowa City!!
