🙋‍♀️ Who Should We Feature?

Imagine the joy of creating something beautiful with your own hands, guided by an expert who feels like an old friend. That's the experience awaiting you at Vestina Vintage Studios in Old Colorado City, brought to life by Jessica Alexander.

As a young girl, Jessica treasured visits to her great-grandmother, a skilled seamstress who lived far away. While the adults chatted, she'd lose herself in pattern books, dreaming of possibilities. Those dreams took root in her high school home economics class, where she made her first poodle skirt (remember those?!) and treasured pieces she still has to this day. Years later, fate led her to work at a high-end fabric store, where handling luxurious silks and fine wools transformed her perspective on craftsmanship. When that beloved shop closed, Jessica knew it was time to create something special of her own.

Today, her expanded studio in Old Colorado City offers something truly special: access to designer-quality materials rescued from fashion houses and mills. These unique pieces, unavailable anywhere else in the region, enable customers to create extraordinary garments while supporting sustainable fashion practices.

The studio has become more than just a shop - it's a gathering place where beginners find encouragement through hands-on workshops, and sewists discover inspiration in the carefully curated collection of independent patterns and premium materials. From custom clothing creation to private lessons, Jessica shares her 35 years of experience with genuine enthusiasm and patient guidance.

More than a store, it's a community where your ideas come to life. Visit Vestina Vintage Studios at 1704 W Colorado Ave. Open Tues through Sat, 11am- 5pm. To learn more about workshops or inquire about custom sewing, call 720-663-9314 or email [email protected]. Join Jessica and discover the joy of creating something truly unique.
