Totoro Hoodie made with Cricut Maker 3 & Siser HTV

After making a colourful Pokemon hoodie with HTV, I wanted to make a simple line-drawn Totoro hoodie.

I found this picture of a Mitsubishi JetStream pen, and thought this design would work great on my Uniqlo grey marle hoodie.

Being only a single colour design, it was much less involved than my previous projects!

For example, this one was a lot more involved:

While I love my previous bold and colourful designs, I’m also loving the subtlety of this Totoro themed hoodie 🙂

OK, I have enough t-shirts and hoodies now; I must stop (for now) 😀
