—If you like fashion, and you like stalking people whose fashion you like, then you must loooove Instagram. Now, some of the city’s own Instagram style stars are banding together to let you do more than just peek into their closets via handheld screen: “Privates” is what Pendleton‘s Gretchen Jones (who co-organized the event with Takara jewelry designer Jen Goff) calls “one part naked lady party, one part yard sale.” Attendees can shop the castoffs of tastemakers like Yo Vintage!‘s Sarah Radcliffe, designers Emily Katz and Lindsay Reif, and more. Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 6 (noon-4 pm, 911 N Monroe).

—A.ell Atelier is offering another round of Sewing 101, this time with a focus on “summer accessories.” All levels and ages are welcome to pick a simple project, like belts and bow-tie necklaces. That’ll be on Saturday, May 23 (1-3 pm) at the shop.
—Mercantile is planning and extra-huge sale blowout for Memorial Day weekend. They’re slashing all merch that’s already marked down an additional 50 percent, which is what you call a fridge cleaner.
