Layer Up With The Evanston Vest

…. From Love Notions

I was so excited to test this pattern from Love Notions back in January 2025! I always reach for my Evanston vests when the weather gets chilly! I’ve made 3 different versions of the Evanston Vest, 4 total because I just love the cowl on this vest! I even added the Evanston Cowl to the Sloane sweater!! I really LOVE this pattern and I’m sure you will love this pattern too!

The Evanston Vest is on sale today, Friday 1/2/26 for just $6! Remember to use my code 10MACSEWS for an additional 10% off! This is the first time the Evanston has been on sale for just $6!!
