Bridge 4 “Hoodie Link”

Backing off my last project of helping fit disabled people in clothes, I wanted to piggy back off that idea but with a different meaning. Without thinking of a reasoning at first, I knew I wanted to make a double hooded sweatshirt that 2 people could wear at the same time and have fun together. I had this idea but no  reasoning to back it with. So back to the drawing board I went, but every-time I thought about something else I knew I wanted to make that double hoodie. And at the same time I was completing my Bridge 3 on Uniped Disabilities, i was researching disabilities and would later read that people with disabilities are 2 to 10 times more susceptible to getting depression than people with out disabilities. And that the only ways to help deal with depression are talk therapy or take medication, then puzzled by how there is only 2 ways to help solve it, I then thought this is the market I want to push my project to. So now present day, bang I present to you my “Hoodie Link”, 2 separate double XL hoodies, deconstructed and sewn back together through the seem on both the left and right of either hoodie, creating a flawless big blanket of material with 2 hoodies and 2 sleeves with the capacities of 2 people. As you can see in the pictures, I deconstructed the left sleeve on the right hoodie, and the right sleeve on the left hoodie, and then used that middle seem to then sew on again conjoining the two hoodies by a single middle seem. I intended for this hoodie is a tool to therapists to be able to use with disabled people to go through talk therapy, they both would wear it while talking out the problems and would in the end hope to make the patient feel better than when they walked in! I titled it this product “Hoodie Link” because by definition, linking is the relationship between 2 things, especially where one thing wears off on the other thing. Since the therapists hopefully good moods would wear off on the depressed patient and make them feel better than when they came in, I thought there was no better name. I have not shown this hoodie to someone who has not gotten a good smile or even a tad bit of joy out of it, and I think that is what this hoodie is all about doing!
