Nijuu Shippo Tsunagi Sashiko Pattern PDF — Linked Seven Treasures Variation Template

✦ Nijuu Shippō Tsunagi (Linked Seven Treasures Variation): Japanese-Inspired Sashiko Pattern ✦

A printable, true-scale PDF inspired by Shippō Tsunagi, doubling its circles into linked pill shapes and stacking two full grids, navy and gold, one offset from the other. Shippō (七宝), "seven treasures," is a traditional motif of overlapping circles that carries a wish for unbroken bonds, harmony, and good fortune. Shown in navy and gold; any two colors you love will work just as well.

WHAT YOU GET (instant download):

• Cover with difficulty + motif overview

• Full-page stitching template at true 1:1 scale, with a color-coded stitch-path guide

• Step-by-step stitching instructions

• US Letter AND A4 versions, reusable, print as often as you like

HOW IT WORKS:

• Print at 100% and check the 1-inch square

• On light fabric, trace at a bright window or lightbox; on dark fabric, use water-soluble stabilizer

• Work the running stitch in the order shown on the stitch-path guide, keeping stitch length and spacing even

Stitch it any size, from a hoop or coaster to a tote panel or cushion — about 4-6 hrs for a 10x10 in piece.

DETAILS:

• Skill level: Beginner, simple pill shapes stitched in two color passes

• You'll need: cotton or linen, sashiko thread in two colors (navy and gold here, or any pair), a water- or heat-erasable fabric marker (or water-soluble stabilizer for dark fabric), and a ruler for the straight sides
