My Chicago Studio Tour

 

It's taken me a lot of time, effort and work to get here, but I am proud to say I've made it in Chicago and I love my little studio! I've found great people and wonderful places in Chicago and I'm just getting started. I can't wait to share more beautiful places with you on my blog. I live in Uptown on Montrose Beach! Spring is coming and I'm so excited to go to the beach every day. Which photo is your favorite??

lately.

Hey, there. I've been sewing non-stop for the past two weeks getting ready for my Paulie Antiques fashion show on April 14th! This is my studio last night and then the photo below is me in a mask before I spray painted some hydrangeas. The first few photos are from last weekend with my balloons and my cat named Angela. She's a good model for photos. I've been trying to take more instant photos lately... here is the result! 

Also.. I am competing in a style competition for College Fashion Week tonight... see more details here! XOXO

new bow tie en route & a peek at my new studio!

Here is a peek at the fabric I am making my newest bow tie with and the trimming I am using on the edges! My mom had a HUGE bucket full of fabric she kept yelling at me to sort through over the break.. and this fabric was one of those in her bin! <3

Here is a tiny peek at my new studio! Since moving I have felt a weight has been lifted and I enjoy life so much more now. One of the simple pleasures of my life right now is that I get to use an empty bedroom in my house as a studio!

It's a lovely Tuesday so far..

love, polly ;D
