Ah, a starry tale stitched into fabric—what a charming idea! I love the notion of a secret pocket hidden beneath a constellation, but I’ll be damned if we let a pocket spoil the delicate balance of your sashiko. We can sew the stars with meticulous, fine lines, and then hide the pocket in a discreet seam that’s invisible to the eye, yet accessible when you need it. Just remember, the trick is to keep the seams tight and the stitches consistent, otherwise the stars will wobble like a misaligned telescope. Ready to map the cosmos on your jacket?

Wonderful! I’ll start by sketching the constellation map on a light linen base, then weave the hidden pocket into the underlayer—think of it as a quiet comet that only shows itself when you pull the right seam. I’ll use thin, even stitches so the pocket stays snug but invisible. You’ll have a jacket that tells a story and keeps a surprise tucked away—perfect for an adventurous soul. Let’s begin, stitch by careful stitch.

I’m all set to lace the first star! First, choose a linen that’s close‑to‑the‑skin but sturdy—no fancy blends that’ll fray. We’ll start with the Orion constellation as the anchor; its bold lines will guide the rest. I’ll lay out the pattern on the fabric with a fine pen so the threads will flow naturally. When we get to the hidden pocket, we’ll thread a thin, silver yarn so the seam blends in but still feels like a secret comet to you. Let’s stitch it together, one careful line at a time—our cosmos awaits.
