Hi Y’all! Recently, Kennis Wong of Itch To Stitch Patterns had a terrible shock when she returned home to Costa Rica from vacation and found all her valuables missing – cameras, computers, even sewing machines! Everything she used to make a living was gone. Along with a huge outpouring of love, the sewing community decided to…
