The needle passes through both sheet and fabric easily. iii. DISSOLVE Rinse with water. The sheet dissolves completely, leaving only your stitches. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌ABOUT MOYŌ-ZASHI (PICTORIAL SASHIKO) Moyō-zashi — "pattern stitching" — is the most decorative of the three sashiko techniques. Using running stitches along the outlines of traditional Japanese motifs, it brings to life the auspicious patterns you'll recognize from kimono, ceramics, and Japanese architecture. Unlike grid-based Hitome-zashi, Moyō-zashi allows for flowing curves and pictorial designs — the most beginner- friendly technique, since the design is drawn before stitching. Traditional motifs symbolize: · Eternal peace (ocean wave patterns) · Growth & resilience (hemp leaf) · Harmony in human relationships (seven treasures) · Elegance and prosperity (flower diamond) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌CHOOSE YOUR PATTERN This listing offers 6 different Moyō-zashi designs. Select your favorite from the variations menu: · Pattern 1 · Pattern 2 · Pattern 3 · Pattern 4 · Pattern 5 · Pattern 6 Each sheet features multiple pictorial sashiko motifs arranged on a single A4 page, including: · Seigaiha (Blue Ocean Waves) — eternal peace · Asanoha (Hemp Leaf) — growth & protection · Shippō-tsunagi (Seven Treasures) — harmony · Hanabishi (Flower Diamond) — elegance · Yabane / Ajiro (Herringbone) — direction & resilience · Flowing curves — modern pictorial designs See listing photos for full pattern previews of each option. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌WHAT'S INCLUDED · 1 × A4 Water-Soluble Embroidery Sheet (210 × 297 mm) · Multiple Moyō-zashi patterns printed on one sheet · QR code linking to step-by-step stitching tutorial and pattern meaning ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌PERFECT FOR ✓ First sashiko project — Moyō-zashi is the easiest technique for beginners ✓ Tote bags, pouches, and pocket details ✓ Visible mending on denim, jeans, and jackets ✓ Furoshiki (gift wrapping cloth) embellishment ✓ Kimono-inspired home accents (placemats, cushions) ✓ Slow stitching and mindful making ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌RECOMMENDED MATERIALS · Sashiko or running-stitch thread (cotton) · Sashiko needle (longer needles work well for these patterns) · Cotton, linen, or denim fabric · Warm water for final rinse (Not included — see our Sashiko Starter Kit listing if you'd like everything in one package.) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌TIPS FROM THE MAKER · Press your fabric flat before applying for best adhesion. · For curved patterns (Seigaiha, flowing waves), use shorter stitches around the curves to keep them smooth. · Stitch all the way through the sheet — it won't damage your needle or thread. · Use lukewarm water (not hot) for the dissolving step. · If your design is large, work in sections — the adhesive stays sticky for the length of a typical project. · Avoid washing the fabric with detergent until all sheet residue is fully rinsed away. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌SHIPPING 🚚Products are usually delivered within 7-14 days of shipping and will be placed in your mailbox.Occasionally, packages may be held up at customs. In that case, it can take up to 21 days. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌IMPORTANT NOTES · This is a PHYSICAL water-soluble sheet, not a digital file. · Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid humidity before use. · One-time use — the sheet dissolves during the final rinse. · Sheet size and design positioning may vary slightly (±1–2 mm). · Embroidery thread, needle, and fabric are not included. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌MORE FROM MA NO CRAFT Also available in our shop: · Stick & Stitch — Kuguri-zashi Edition (Woven Sashiko) · Stick & Stitch — Hitomezashi Edition (One-Stitch Sashiko) · Sashiko Pattern Book PDFs (digital download) · Sashiko Starter Kit (complete physical kit) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▌ABOUT MA NO CRAFT MA NO CRAFT is a small studio creating curated craft collections rooted in Japanese tradition.
