 FAQs

  • What a sweet baby angel you are! As a self-funded teaching artist, community support is paramount to my success—period. Big companies and celebrity brands have the budget and the algorithm on their side. What they don’t have, that we do, is real-life connection and people power!

    Here are a few things that would greatly impact my life and the work I'm building:

    • Subscribe to my newsletter (above)

    • Be my friend – tell me you see me and that I’m doing a good job (haha!)

    • Share virtually – post on social media or add a blurb to your own newsletter

    • Recommend my services to friends, or announce the news to your book club

    • Request a Private Lesson

    • Follow and engage with me on social media

    • Come visit me!

    • And one very honest and humble option:
      If you feel called to share funds, it would be deeply appreciated. Even just $5 (a few spools of thread!) goes a long way. Venmo

  • Home Ec NYC will be the home studio of Hilandel! I’m so excited that the studio will allow me to bring all of my work together under one roof. The Hilandel brand will go through its own metamorphosis in 2026—so be on the lookout! 😊 Book a consult!

  • Yes! I’ll be offering virtual workshops, classes, and lessons in addition to in-person sessions.

  • Yes! Depending on the project I will have materials available in the studio for you to purchase with a 10% off student discount.

    In fact here is the policy for materials:

    MATERIALS
    It is up to the instructor's discretion if the materials brought by the student are appropriate for the project. If a student brings the incorrect materials or forgets them, they can purchase provided materials at the time of class.

  • Here is the policy for that:
    LATE
    It is strongly advised to arrive early. We will need to start promptly and use every minute of our time together to ensure smooth instruction and completion of the project. The group will move through all instructions and steps at the same time. This is not a drop-in style class.

    If a student arrives more than 5 minutes late, it is at the discretion of the instructor whether they can join. If a student arrives 10 minutes late, they forfeit their registration fee and space in the class.

    If you suspect you will be late, contact info@homeecnyc.com so we know you're on the way and don't assume you are a no-show.
