I usually wear only one denim pants when I go out – the denim with Sashiko stitching. A girl asked me, “Why do you always wear the same pants?”. I replied, “Is it strange? Does it smell bad? I try to clean as much as I can.” She continued, “No, it doesn’t smell, but I don’t know why you wear the same thing everytime I see you.” I questioned back, “why do you ask?” She froze with confusion, then start thinking. We both looked at each other, and I told her, “This denim is my friend. I would rather to care a few denim pants than forgetting others”. She smiled with cheers and said, “Ah, then it is not strange. It is like us.”

Do you remember (care) the cloth you like? Textile (fabric) is not only the materials, but also a part of humanity. The human became human by “wearing”. I would like to tell children that it is okay to wear the same thing everyday (with appropriate cleaning). It is more natural than wearing it and forgetting it, I believe.

また配信でも話しますが、心温まる話がありました。6歳の女の子の友達との会話の一節でした。「衣」という言葉には、それなりに存在意義があるような気がしています。たかが刺し子。されど刺し子。ボロボロになっても補修をしていた衣と、一度着たら次いつ着るか忘れたままクローゼットに置き去りなる衣。どっちが人間っぽいのかな……なんてね。

I have a blue linen dress which was already around 100ys old when I bought it. Since I wear it at least twice a week some people only know me as “that woman with the indigo blue dress” 😁 this dress was once a mens nightdress in white linen became like a second skin for me. This summer some parts of the fabric got thin and I’ve started stitching.
I get the same question from my pupils who are 9- 13 years old. I tell them that they are my favourite jeans. Of course I both wash and mend them. 💙
BRAVO❤️
Beautiful

I love that people will question our choice of wearing the same clothing often. It gives us opportunity to educate them concerning slow fashion and mending what is precious to us.
i love this message thank you
Beautifully written, thank you.

Thank you for your wise words. Well, I don’t wear jeans at all since I cannot get ethic jeans in Poland, but my linen clothes are what you wrote: my friends. For the whole Summer I’ve been wearing just a few white linen pieces, and I felt as you wrote: I had my friends around me all the time😁 Greetings from Poland💝
