Modern Home Ec

Shelly Leer has been a busy gal lately. She just revamped her website, ModHomeEc, and opened a new studio on 54th Street, just off the Monon. Now, she's offering a wide range of sewing and upholstery classes -- from sewing 101 to advanced upholstery skills.

Here's a quick look at upcoming classes:

• Feb. 3 -- Sewing Machine Basics
• Feb. 3 or 10 -- Pillow Workshop
• Feb. 11 -- Intro to Upholstery: Creating a Tufted Ottoman
• Feb. 12 -- Couples' Ottoman Building Class (with light appetizers)
  

Can't make it to the studio? She also offers online tutorials, where you'll learn how to replace sofa foam or how to make a play kitchen for the kiddos. What a great resource!
