Erica Domesek is my new DIY goddess. Her blog, P.S. - I Made This (and companion book of the same name), showcases a collection of tantalizing do-it-yourself fashion projects with user-friendly directions and wallet-friendly materials. Super-cheap copper pipe couplings from the lowly hardware store find an entirely new life when teamed with thick, elegant grosgrain ribbon ("Rose Gold Statement Necklace"); puffballs and hot glue reinvent a plain handbag ("Pompom Purse"); a sliced-up cotton t-shirt becomes a boho accessory ("Fringe Scarf"). Ms. Domesek has reached new heights of crafty-cool, recently gracing the set of Martha Stewart's afternoon show with some DIY examples from her new book. While cutting up a pair of tights for a funky necklace project demo, she very politely scoffed at Martha's inane question, "now, are these Wolfords?" ($90 hoisery, for the uninitiated). Sigh. Oh, Martha.
