DIY Shoulder Patch

When I realized one of my oldest and favorite jackets had holes around the elbows from years of wear I whipped out my sewing kit. Here are some photos to guide you if you're ever in the same situation. 

I picked out one of my favorite fabrics that I designed and had printed out with Spoonflower. I cut an oval in the dimensions of 4" x 6" with a thin cardboard box and cut the fabric to size.

I tucked in the edges and pinned them down.

It took me about an hour to sew both patches. I love  the end restult!

Constellation Inspiration

The ceiling in Grand Central Station depicts a beautifully painted scene of constellations.  I would love to paint a ceiling similiar to this in my apartment but it's too bad that I'm renting. I began looking for other ways to bring the constellation theme into my home. Here are some of the ones that caught my eye!

Photo of the East River

Instagram is so fun to use especially because I rely on my Iphone for all my photos. I took this while walking my dog along the East River bike path early in the morning. It has such an enchanted feel to it!
