Chestnut Sew Along - Inspiration

Hi everyone!

So you like the Chestnut pattern quite a lot but need a bit of inspiration? You've come to the right place! The new CocoWawa sewing pattern is perfect for cozy Autumn and Winter days when choosing the sweater option, while the Chestnut top can be the perfect garment to layer up on colder days or to use in Spring with a cardigan or by itself, so the bows are seen in all its glory ;)

But, let's start with some inspiration. Get ready for some 'bowliness' galore!
