So come on down to the Steppenwolf at 1700 N Halsted, doors open at 7! See you there? Sig Ep Chi til we die 😝💕💅🏾

Loren J (@jforpay_designs ) is an accomplished sewist and designer, with her designs appearing on RuPaul’s Drag Race and elsewhere. She’s also a knitter and a staff member at The Dropped Stitch! She’s been on the lookout for a really great bag for carrying projects around, and eventually she decided to make one herself. After months of choosing fabrics and materials, prototyping, sewing, stamping, and road-testing, the Dropped Stitch Crafter’s Bag is ready for showtime. Featuring:

🧶 Drawstring main enclosure (no zipper snagging your yarn)

🧶 Removable shoulder strap

🧶 One large magnet-snap external pocket, five external sleeves, three internal pouches, and one internal zipped compartment

🧶 Small enough to qualify as an in-flight “personal item” but spacious enough for an almost-finished sweater

🧶 You’ll look so cool

🧶 Everyone will ask you where you got it

🧶 Price: $150.00

These are made one at a time, so quantities are extremely limited - if you’d like to get on the list to buy one, please just drop us a DM. First come, first serve! by @jforpay

“Mae West Does Beige!”

So happy with the reception to this look, and to be able to help @heyjanedont snatch her second win! She came up with this interpretation of a gown designed by @schiaparelli for Mae West in Every Day’s a Holiday (1937), which is currently in @thevintagecostumecollector’s collection (check out his post for a beautiful up close look!)

Engineering the collar was by far the biggest challenge— it had to be BIG, and faux fur is super heavy. I’m so glad Jane trusted me to figure out how to do this on a short timeline.

Somehow, this was my first time receiving critiques on the @rupaulsdragrace main stage— Hey @michellevisage!

💜 Catch me hosting at @boots.party in Metro + Smartbar this Saturday with my boo.

💜 See you soon!
