Sewing: Vintage Floral Scarf
This vintage floral scarf was inspired by the fabric – I found it in the cutoff section (still at regular price) and there was just around 1 yard. So worth it.

What You Need floral fabric (about 1 yard) matching thread machine 20-24 inches of elastic First – I had to improvise and cut the fabric in…

Photos: Detroit
Detroit A few weeks ago I was in Detroit and I took some shots in the heart of the motor city. These photos make me happy and make me sad, all at once.
