No. 1 in Harmonious Imperfection, a closed series of seven wearable originals.
A study in Textile Architecture, this piece is built to be worn. The face is composed of reclaimed Eileen Fisher garments, broken down and reassembled by hand in patchwork fashion. The reverse is draping muslin drawn from our own studio, given renewed purpose rather than discarded. Hand stiched sashiko runs through both layers as it has for centuries, functioning not as surface ornament but as structure. The stitching holds the work together. The stitching is the architecture.
Constructed through improv machine patchwork, boro outline stitching, and hand sashiko worked in both hitomezashi and moyouzashi. High-end cotton thread throughout. Every seam is deliberate; nothing is wasted. This is Mottainai made wearable.
The details:
Dimensions: 6" × 70"
Front: reclaimed Eileen Fisher garment fabrics (light denim, linen, cotton, hemp)
Back: reclaimed studio draping muslin
Thread: Aurifil
Technique: improv machine patchwork, boro outline stitching, hand sashiko (hitomezashi and moyouzashi)
Year: 2026
Includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity documenting the piece and its place in the closed series of seven
Care: Hand wash cold, dry flat, iron as necessary.
