Handmade Shopping in Chicago: Wolfbait & B-girls

By Heidi Gustad of Hands Occupied

Since moving to Chicago last week, I've started to venture out and check out what crafty destinations the city has to offer. My first stop? Wolfbait & B-girls, a dream store for the urban handmade fanatic. The shop's owners design and make their own clothes, right in the store! They also carry a lot of locally made items, such as screen printed onesies and t-shirts, jewelry, buttons, and home decor. If you're ever in Chicago, head out to Logan Square to hit them up. You can also check them out in this NY Times feature.

Some of the awesome merchandising and the serger in the store

The in-store workspace & the window display

The pièce de résistance? Their dressing room! (Also, I bought this adorable top while I was there.)
