The Haute Couture Club Luncheon at the Chicago Yacht Club


All the sewing ladies converged in the Chicago Yacht Club for their annual luncheon. The June Luncheon parts the close of our year. We will not meet again until September. The luncheon event includes the announcement of the new officers, fall challenges, fashion committee and the theme.

The is my second year as a member and it's still fun. The atmosphere is festive. There is continuous chatter and jiggles throughout the room. No uncomfortable silences; everyone is gay.

It was quite sunny and very HOT in Chicago on Saturday afternoon. It must have been about 95 degrees; humidity about 67 percent. HOT.., It was good to be in a place that wasn't too warm or too cold. Our hostess for the luncheon was Jane Vartan. I believe her husband is a member of the Chicago Yacht Club. And because of his membership we were are to have our annual event at the club. Thank you Jane. It was wonderful.


So not to be too chatty, here are the pictures from the luncheon.

These lovely ladies made their sheath dresses during the Helen Haughey workshop.  Beautiful craftsmanship.
Kathy M. designed and sewed this beautiful silk jacket.
Ms. Evans is so delightful. It's always good to see her.  She is sporting a jacket made by her daughter Francine D.

  8. You are so lucky to be part of such a wonderful group of talented women. You had better warn Kathy M. that if I ever run into her and she is wearing that jacket I will do my best to steal it from her. It is unlikely as I live in western Canada, but you never know.............
