I had such a good time tonight @chicagosewsmeetup

I had such a good time tonight @chicagosewsmeetup monthly Sip & Sew. I was able to execute a new to me idea. Printing flat lays of garments on vellum to block outfits and fabrics in planning to make. Can't wait to see everyone next time.

I had so much fun this weekend attending #ChicagoFashionWeek. It was great to be introduced to so many new designers and local collections. Check out @fashionbarchicago @chicagosfashionweek for tons of great designs from the week.

This is my look from Sunday. I wore a combination of RTW, vintage, and handmade. The top is #vikisews_linda made from a stashed silk.

This skirt has to be one of my favorite makes of the year. The linen was great for summer, but it is long enough to layer for the fall. #leggingsarelife
There are lots of compromises and happy accidents nestled in the seams. I love them all.

It feels like #chitownsummer!

I love it!

I'm looking forward to doing all of the things. Plus a little sewing in between.

In all seriousness, it brings me an unspeakable amount of joy to be out and see people. I'm am thankful to be here, whole. Thankfulness is something I will intentionally bring with me though the rest of this year and the others that come.

Happy Making!

#vikisews_линда in the wild. Nothing like a weekend out in the sun.
This is one of my most sewn patterns. This version is probably the most worn.

Nothing like a bit of nighttime pampering after LO

Nothing like a bit of nighttime pampering after LO goes to sleep. Thanks @biossance @Influenster for this lovely serum. I have really enjoyed adding it to my routine.

In keeping with a luxury lounge theme, I made this silk pj set. The top is one my #tntpatterns, the Kate Bias Top @justpatterns. The shorts are the #SeamworkNantucket @seamwork.
