DIYStyle Party!

Grab your friends and join the DIYStyle crew for a fab day in Chicago at the DIYStyle "Design It Yourself" Style Party!

The day-long "sew-in" is at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare-Rosemont, in the hotel's airy arcade. On Thursday, July 10th, from noon 'til 8pm, be ready for a day of hands-on fun! Create your own DIY fashions. Work in our design labs and stitch stations set up with everything you need to make your own goods. Sew up a whole drawer full of panties from the new DIYStyle Design It Yourself Pattern from McCall's, bring a pair of denim jeans and give them the "distressed look", perform t-shirt surgery, and make an Eco-Friendly Tote Bag for all your shopping finds. Project Design will take the stage, showcasing Chicago indie fashion designers, and a Fall Fashion Forecast will give you the scoop on what's hot and what's not! Great music flowing to keep everyone in the party mood. And it's only $20 for the whole day.

The American Sewing Guild's National Convention is also at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. So after you've sewn everything you possibly can, visit the ASG Marketplace! It opens at 7:00pm, so you can shop 'til you drop for the coolest sewing tools, patterns, and gadgets around!
