This Sashiko Hand-Quilted Vest is a considered layering piece that blends traditional Japanese stitching with contemporary textile construction. Hand-worked sashiko stitches are used as decorative quilting, adding rhythm, texture, and quiet detail across the surface.
 
The body of the vest is machine quilted throughout, creating a subtle, structured finish that complements the hand stitching without overpowering it. A soft grey linen–cotton binding frames the piece, while a vintage wool felt blanket is used as wadding to add warmth, weight, and character.
 
Designed with generous armholes, this vest layers comfortably over folk blouses, shirts, or thick knit jumpers, making it a versatile addition to a slow, considered wardrobe.
