Several years ago, Master Bespoke Tailor Eric W. Stiles Sr. taught professional online fashion classes through 61 colleges across the United States and 2 colleges in Canada. The college serving your community was one of those institutions, giving local residents the opportunity to study professional sewing, tailoring, garment construction, pattern making, alterations, and other specialized fashion skills.
As the nationwide program continued to grow, Mr. Stiles stepped away from online teaching to redesign the program and make it more affordable and accessible. Those classes are now returning through EWS Fashion Academy, with Online Mini-Courses beginning September 12, 2026. Unlike the previous college-sponsored program, students now register directly through the Academy, and most Mini-Course sessions are just $17.00.
With more than four decades of experience, advanced training with Brioni in Italy, professional work with Brioni, Giorgio Armani, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Tom Ford, and teaching both online and live at 11 Illinois colleges, Mr. Stiles continues to bring professional fashion education to students everywhere.
To learn more about the returning online classes, view the complete course offerings, read Mr. Stiles' professional background, and register for upcoming Mini-Courses, visit:

Scandinavian Cultural Center & Library

The Scandinavian Cultural Center is proud to present a collection of work by artist Dr. Albert R. Frederick. Along with his wife Suzanne, Dr. Frederick spent many years traveling the world and later resided at the Scandinavian Living Center until his passing this summer. He was prolific in his photography throughout his travels, capturing images on analog and digital cameras and bringing them home to develop in his two darkrooms.
There is an incredible range in subject matter, from wildlife to architecture to abstract compositions, all connected by Frederick's distinct artistic signatures. The images are steeped in intrigue; they implore you to take a closer look. Celebrate this remarkable collection with us at the closing reception on Sunday, August 23rd from 11am to 1pm. All work is available for sale and light refreshments will be served.
For more information about the show, visit <a target="_blank" href="https://scandicenter.org/event/photo-exhibit/" rel="nofollow noopener">our website</a>.
