Hi Sewing Friends!
I hope your holidays were filled with family, friends and things that you love! I’ve taken a short (much needed) break from my “Weekly Stitch” due to the holidays and the dreaded flu! I’ve been out of my sewing room for almost 3 weeks now! I’m hoping that next week I’ll be back on track with the “Weekly Stitch” and my Winter Sewing Plans List!

Feature Friday Pattern From Love Notions~
The very first Feature Friday of 2026 is the Evanston Vest! This pattern released back in January of 2025 and this is the first time the pattern has been on sale for just $6! Remember to use my code 10MACSEWS for an extra 10% off!

This is THE PERFECT piece for your winter layering wardrobe! I simply love this pattern. I have made 4 so far and I wear them often. For all the details on the Evanston Vest along with my sizing, modifications and tips be sure to visit THIS BLOG POST.
Just before I went to Boston, I whipped up a new LN Sloane Sweater and added the Evanston Cowl to make the perfect cozy winter sweater. I love it paired with the Oakley Vest!
