Clothes with Stories: The Tapestry Scarf- bits of cashmere, pieced together over bits of time...

Greetings! I hope you all are well. I haven't been on this blog for a while, since November actually! Somehow when the holiday season arrives, time flies by. For fall/winter I had made lots of cozy items from super lux recycled sweaters for my ErinElsie shop. I then became, and still am, swamped with a chunk of freelance work and some custom design work. I love custom work, but it does take some special time and attention. I am super excited about one bridal project in particular, but I can't really share it until it's done ;)



I had to freeze work on my next ErinElsie Summer collection during this busy season, but I'm not great at keeping my hands still. Sometimes after a long day, it's therapeutic to be able still work with my hands on a little project of my own. I suppose knitting would be ideal; but until I learn how to knit, little hand sewing projects help to fill this void. I had all these colorful sweater bits lying around and most of them were super soft cashmere. 



I then had this idea to piece them together. I just sewed on it over time, here and there when I really craved some work with my hands. As the scarf started to take shape, I really love what it became. 



Much like the making of a quilt, this scarf became a sort of tapestry of this busy period of time. It kept me sane when I was stressed with freelance work, and gave me a a sense of accomplishment when it was finished!

Classic...check! Chic...check! Timeless...Check!

Classic and cozy, chic plaid scarves have stood the test of time and remain style staples.  When I found some vintage Pendleton skirts, with torn seams and missing zippers, scarves seem like the perfect way to give the fabric a new life in a versatile and timeless piece. Pendleton wool is and has remained a high quality fabric, made in America. Although the vintage pieces I found were in rough shape, the fabric was still going strong.

 Here are the first couple of scarves, and I'm trying to get more done in time for the Holiday gifting! I'm a true believer in buying quality over quantity; beautiful pieces that quickly become your favorite go to items. I think investing in great, classic scarf definitely fits that bill.

Cobalt Plaid Scarf

This plaid was such a great find. The brilliant and bold colors make it a standout piece, while the plaid pattern keep it classic and timeless.

Classic Red Plaid Scarf

It doesn't get much better than this one- you can't go wrong with a classic red plaid.

Violet and Black Plaid Super Scarf

I love that you can easily dress this one up or down. It's extra long, giving it such a lux feel and versatile styling options. A perfect item to throw on a chic and comfy traveling outfit. Here in New York, I feel that way about outfits almost everyday!
