He said he would wear it with a T-shirt in the summer, so I matched it with his favorite T-shirt.

I sew together a lot of old flags and it starts to look a little more like a jacket, but I have to stop and make something different because I have to dye the missing fabric again.

Old Japanese flag.

I would like to make a jacket with it.

After dyeing with persimmon tannin, it was changed to gray with iron mordant.

Patchworking vintage pieces and remaking them into clothing is my life's work.

Upcycled jumper from an old Japanese advertising flag.

A flag with pop letters made to advertise "school uniforms."

The sleeves are made of Japanese cotton towels called "tenugui".

The color was dyed with persimmon tannin, a natural Japanese dye, and then soaked in an iron mordant to dye it gray.

I am not used to using Tumblr, so I just post pictures of what I make.

Since I don't understand English either, I use translation software.

I sincerely appreciate those who react.
