I went to Hawaii in 2003. I got the flu and was in bed the entire time. I got driven around and looked at a lot of things out the car window, but I was too sick to get to adventure. One of the few things I got to do was go to a fabric store. The two fabrics in this mermaids tail are from there. She's wearing her lei necklace to welcome everyone to Kauai, and her hair is dreadlocked from all that swimming in the turquoise salt water. Pattern by Kerry Seymour, Attic Rose Creations.
