Envigado Vest by Itch to Stitch
Sometimes I sign up to test patterns because I simply love the design and it fills a hole in my wardrobe, and sometimes I sign up to test because I love a good challenge. In this case, it happens to be both of those reasons. I learned last year that I love wearing vests on chilly, Arizona days. For me, vests seem to supply just enough warmth, while also giving me extra pockets, which always seems necessary. So when Kennis (Itch to Stitch) asked for testers for her new Envigado Vest, I jumped on it! I even ordered fabric and supplies before the test began, which I never do. However,…

There are so many possibilities with this add-on pattern. I chose to make a my top with a hood,…

Let’s Do This Thing
It’s a New Year and I think it is about time I finally launch this blog that I have been sitting on for far too long. I have had a strong desire to document my handmade journey this past year. Mostly to for myself, so I can visually see all that I have accomplished as a Sewist, but I also feel this blog can be a helpful source to the sewing community in general. I love seeing inspiration pictures from my fellow sewing friends, as well as finding out about pattern hacks and sewing tips. So with that said, that is exactly what I plan to do. This space will…
