Through Pinterest I found fabulous inspirations for accessories and clothes to sew for this new phase of my life and have actually made all these pins come to life in the last few weeks. One of these projects was an infinity scarf which I thought it was a genious idea and perfect for Autumn. And there’s a bonus: it can be easily sewn by hand!  This scarf can be used just like a normal infinity scarf, or like I´m going to do, as a breastfeeding scarf.
