My 11 yr old just pulled out her sewing machine to make something. She's taking lessons from my friend (I don't know how to sew!), and with the extra time she has as a homeschooler, her natural creative talent, and her own machine and lessons, I am confident she's going to do quite well with sewing

It got me to thinking. I don't remember seeing anything about home economics included in any of the HOD packages. Is there any Home Ec in HOD? If not, anyone have any good Home Ec book suggestions? I know the best Home Ec class is simply teaching my kids cooking, cleaning, stewardship, etc. But I also know there are some really neat Christ-centered home economics homeschool curricula out there. I'd love to know what other HODers use!

BTW, I found out what she was just making. An outfit for her guinea pig, LOL!

Here is a post from Carrie on this subject viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15938&p=112107&hili ... 06#p112037

Has several good books and more mentioned for home economics
I personally have at least looked at the ones mentioned and have loved many of them.
Enjoy!

TrueGRIT - I tried your link but it doesn't appear to be working. Are you able to re-paste the link?

Nealewill, thanks for letting me know.
I tried both copy & paste and typing in the link, but it still won't work. Not sure what that is.
It does show up for me under the search by typing in:

I hope that helps until I can look more into it. The post is from 2013 I believe.

Was it this one?

I am always on the prowl for a good home ec course LOL. My oldest is very homey already. This coming year she is going to be learning to sew and we have several projects planned already.

These are *free* highschool courses for girls http://plainandnotsoplain.com/home-econ ... urriculum/ and boys http://plainandnotsoplain.com/new-home- ... -for-guys/

Thanks for the great info!

I agree with what Carrie said in one of the threads. That simply following the HOD guides will give kids quite a bit of home economics with all the recipes and such!
