XL ~ Yellow Desert
In this new clothing drop I have embellished second hand sweaters with plant dyed cotton patchwork and hand stitched embellishments. This first piece is a desert setting with one star, the sun, our sun, radiating outward. The number one often symbolizes wholeness, god, unity, the great spirit, eternity. The cactus spirit patch is dyed with cochineal and indigo and the sun is dyed with onion skins. The sweater was found already a (synthetic) yellow. 100% cotton.
A NOTE ON FIT ~ These new pieces with patchwork on the front do not stretch in the area the patchwork is sewn on, so it’s ideal to wear them less as a fitted sweater and more as a loose fitted style. If you are considering two different sizes, go for the bigger size. Width under arms is quoted with each item.
25“ wide under arms x 23“ long from center of collar to hem .
