When it comes to fabric accessories, nothing inspires me more than beautiful fabric and the feeling is complete if it is expressive, vivid (and vintage). For this necklace I used one of my vintage scarves This is a variation of a necklace I've already made and it is shown somewhere here with the same pattern because the scarves appealed to me so much at the time I bought three of them in the same color.
After "blasting" my sewing machine, every little stitch on this one is made by hand, it took a lot of time and during the creation process I never stopped feeling sorrowful for all our ancestors who in the past sewed clothes by hand. Makes you appreciate more the commodities of the modern world.

Beautiful Maya and a nice use of the scarf - perfect pop of colour.
PS I hope that whatever happened to your machine can be fixed easily without too much expense, hassle or heartache .
Ohh this is gorgeous, like a breath of fresh air! - love it!! sorry about your machine though!
I hope your machine is fixed soon! If this is what you do when it's broken, though, I'll certainly be happy to watch! :)
Wow, I love this colour! It's what I wear most during summer! Remember a little while ago I said thanks for your great idea of wrist warmers? Well, I tried it too (but turned them into arm warmers :-) Care to have a look at my blog to see how mine turned out? Thanks!

lovely! That fabric is just awesome!
How brave to sew it all by hand. I too think about 'before' whenever I sew a simple button... I hate sewing manually and wonder what kind of a 'crafter' I would have been back then ;-)
well if you do that when your machine is damage...I'm so glad you can sew by hand! :)
It's absolutely gorgeous!
