Taking travel pictures is easy: point, click, get 3-50 likes on Facebook. Teresa Lim, a textile designer, wanted something more out of her travel mementos, so she embroidered what she saw. With needle and thread in hand, she visited impressive locales and recreated what she saw in cloth. Her project was thus called Sew Wanderlust.

She has already created souvenirs of such places as Berlin and Tokyo – unsurprising considering her professed love of travel and textiles.
