Spring is here. I feel like the Spring is so instantaneous in these days. It jumps from Winter (Cold) to Summer (Hot). I upcycled this jacket for my wife since she didn’t like the sleeve length (too short). It is too cold for winter and too hot to summer, so I only see her wearing it in limited time, but I like this simple upcycling idea: just adding the Sashiko fabric to the sleeves to make them longer.

Sashiko is (was) originally an idea of making fabric stronger and repairing the fabric. However, there is no “answer” in what we would do with Sashiko. As long as we appreciate the fabric with respecting what we “already” have, we all enjoying one of the mindsets of Sashiko. Happy Spring, Happy Easter, and Happy Passover. ☆

春ですね〜。
子供の頃に比べて、春が思いっきり短くなった気がします。「寒い」から「暑い」までが一足飛びのような。それでも（だからこそ）、春うららかな日は貴重な感じがして。春先のジャケットに……と妻にプレゼントしたリメイクジャケットも、夏にはもう暑すぎるので、この時期だけの風景となりました。「補修や補強」が刺し子のメインですが、「袖が短すぎて使いづらい」というジャケットに、刺し布を加えただけのものですが、それでも良い意味での「補修」だと思っています。手が長くてジャケットが合わんって……どんなんやねん。
