シヤツ 

Appliqued fabric from Nippori town........
This is a shirt I just made up with no thought at all. I thought this one yoga pose complimented it well. Applique is the technique used on this one.....One of my favorite techniques because its sooooooooo easy to do! I almost want to sew something and turn it inside out. In my fibers class during a critque it always happened where we would all turn what we made inside out and be at awe at the beauty of how messy it was. That really struck a cord with me!
I like small pieces of fabric with no place to go, they remind me of my moms sewing room. When I was growing up I always watched her sew. Her little pieces of fabric all over the place making a quilt. Also my grandmother's tomatoe that held the pins. Children are so textural, I always wanted to touch everything. Perhaps I became addicted to the touch of fabric. This reminds me of the song "A coat of many colors" by Dolly Pardon. This song always makes me cry.
