Sashiko Hoodie

Have a jumper or a shirt that you have had forever? This hoodie was the same. Over time, it slowly was worn down, becoming stained and holey. We couldn’t say goodbye to it because of how well it fit. A good fitting technique for this is the sashiko technique, where patches over time create a new garment. Create a story by adding new patches, until it becomes a new hoodie.
