Whether it’s a garment you’ve been meaning to complete, a fashion sketch, pattern, embellishment project, or creative concept, bring it along! This is your opportunity to work alongside other creatives, exchange ideas, learn from one another, and make meaningful connections within Chicago’s fashion community.
