Get In While the Gettin's Good

As reported in the post, Closet Classics Caffeine and Clothing will be closing soon. Currently large mark downs are happening and I'd recommend shooting over there while it is still open.

For more information about when and why Closet Classics is closing, feel free to hit up the Post article here: http://www.uwmpost.com/2010/02/08/another-east-side-staple-bites-the-dust/ .

I personally have found the prices to be completely reasonable, especially now during this ending sale.

As always, feel free to bring in any piece that you'd like to alter. We have functioning sewing machines within the studio and an entire fibers room at your disposal. Also if you catch me or any other staff member, we may be able to help figure out how to make whatever it is, fit just right.

If you're not into altering we also have a large selection of patterns for check out. Options range from period costumes to Vogue patterns. Come in and take a peek at the collection. =)

On a different note, I'd like to let you all know about our up-coming Screen Printing class. It runs from March 29 to April 26. Definitely not a class to miss; screen printing gives you the freedom to mark anything you've made. Use images that inspire you and wear them around or alter your bag to suit unique tastes. Take advantage of this awesome class and learn a skill you'll use for life.

Best wishes and hope the week goes well!
