May 10, 2013: UFO Rescue Mission
We had so much fun with “UFO Attack: Sew Chicago Strikes Back” a few years ago, we’re going to go at it again. Dig into that basket of dashed hopes and broken dreams and either finish something or bring it in as is for advice on what to do to rescue it. If nothing else, the stories that go with these UFOs are good for LOL!
June 14, 2013: Wardrobe Inspiration
What silhouettes, design details or fabrications have caught your eye recently? How do you think you might incorporate one or more of these elements into a future project? Do you sometimes think you have too many ideas and no way to bring them to fruition? We can work on that. Bring your inspiration pictures to our June meeting and we’ll explore ways to capture that inspiration and make it work for us.
July 12, 2013: Pattern Magic
Liz H. has been playing with a design in the book Pattern Magic and incorporated it into a fitting shell that fits her perfectly. She’s ready to share so we can work magic of our own.
August 9, 2013: Fancy Feet and Decorative Stitches
Carolyn is working on a very special program about all those interesting presser feet – what they do, how to use them and how to use the decorative stitches in our machines. This is starting to sound like a two-part program, so stay tuned.

Lorel – Please keep me posted on the ASG meeting. I would like to attend.
Thanks,
Cennetta
I must be really lame…I am interested in becoming a member, but I could not find your location except that you have meetings on a Friday at 5:30….forgive me, please let me know the membership process. Thank you Debbie
Hi Debbie,
I’m forwarding your information to our Chief Instigator Wendy to contact you. We meet in downtown Chicago in the home of one of the members. This makes it convenient for those working downtown to come after work.
Looking forward to seeing you at a meeting!
tina
I am interested in becoming a member and attending the meetings. Please email me the information
I would like to attend your meetings. Please put me on your list. I have been looking for Chicago/Loop sewing buddies. Susan
Just sent you an email, Susan. Welcome!
Hi All;
I love this blog and wish I was in Chicago to sew with you.
Do you know about the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo that will be coming to Chicago in March? March 31 to April 2
Would love to meet many of you while I am in town as I arrive Sunday night from Cleveland before the show starts.
Here is the link to the show.

Karen Erickson
We do know about the show and we are looking forward to attending. Let us know your booth number and we’ll be sure to stop by and introduce ourselves.
You all have been on my “to do” list ever since I had the pleasure of meeting Tina at the Expo in March. Please email the location to me! Thank you so much!
We’ll be so happy to welcome you to our group!
I know it’s still early, but please keep me on the e-vite list for meeting locations! I hope to be at the August meeting: organization is not my strongest suit!
Hello! I’ve been looking for a sewing group for so long! I am a beginner but am interested in your wardrobe planning session with The Mahogany Stylist. I am a college student, so I would not be able to attend many meetings past August, but please let me know about the event tomorrow (today! eek!) if it’s not to late to stop in.
We were so happy to meet you last night. I can’t wait to see the silk dupioni dress you make for that wedding!
I am interested in joining the group! Could you please e-mail me information regarding the sign up process and what is up for 2012 etc. Thank you!
Amy Stefanik
I am also interested in the group and would like more information.
Thank you,
Beth Hines
Amy and Beth, I’m so glad you are interested in Sew Chicago. We look forward to meeting both of you.
