Noboru Ha Sashiko Pattern PDF — Rising Leaves Embroidery Template

A printable, true-scale PDF template for the Noboru Ha "rising leaves" design, with clear, step-by-step instructions so you go from print to stitched piece without guesswork.

Noboru Ha means rising leaves; tall leaf shapes climb in columns along straight vertical stems, each column stepping half a leaf past its neighbor so the whole field seems to rise. Its history isn't documented anywhere we could find, and we say so plainly rather than inventing one.

Worked here in indigo leaves and gold stems, though any two colors you love will do; a quiet, orderly repeat that suits a whole panel.
