Seigaiha Sashiko Pattern PDF — Blue Ocean Waves Embroidery Template

✦ Seigaiha (Blue Ocean Waves): Traditional Japanese Sashiko Pattern ✦

A printable, true-scale PDF template for the Seigaiha design, with clear, step-by-step, color-coded instructions so you go from print to stitched piece without guesswork.

Overlapping fan-shaped scales echoing the ocean's endless waves, a symbol of good luck, peace, and resilience. Stitched in three colors for soft, layered depth (use any three you love).

WHAT YOU GET (instant download):

• Cover with difficulty + motif overview

• Full-page stitching template at true 1:1 scale

• Step-by-step marking, stitching & finishing guide (color-coded stitch path)

• Clean transfer template for water-soluble stabilizer

• A little thank-you & sharing page

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

DETAILS:

• Skill level: Intermediate, layered arcs in one to three colors, a satisfying one to grow into

• Time: approx. 4-6 hrs for a 10x10 in piece

• Thread: approx. 20 m total across three colors (buy a little extra for thread carried across the back)

• You'll need: cotton or linen, sashiko thread (three blues from light to deep here, or any colors you love, one works too), and a water- or heat-erasable fabric marker

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

• Stitch by layer, not scale by scale: all the outer arcs first, then middle, then inner, carrying the thread on the back between scales, landing an even stitch on each low point
