I'm a big fan of Maya Angelou whose work inspired this hoodie. Read the poem here: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-know-why-the-caged-bird-sings/ I found this awesome plum hoodie at Goodwill for $4. I machine-appliquéd the bird in the birdcage and the branch with fabric that my Godmother handed down to me. I also handstitched the details on the hood and handpainted the text on the front with acrylic paint and textile medium. Comments are most welcome <3
