Sakura Sashiko Medallion PDF — Cherry Blossom Stick & Stitch Template | 7", 5" & 4" Sizes | Water Soluble Printable | Instant Download
✦ Sakura (Cherry Blossom): Traditional Japanese Sashiko Medallion ✦
A hoop-sized cherry-blossom medallion, drawn true to size and ready to stitch by hand. Print it, trace the petals onto your fabric, or print straight onto water-soluble stabilizer, and stitch from the center out, as a hoop centerpiece, a pillow panel, or a framed piece.
Sakura (桜, "cherry blossom") is one of Japan's most beloved flowers, five rounded petals that open all at once, then fall within a week. It carries spring and renewal, and mono no aware: the tender awareness that beauty is precious because it doesn't last. Worked as one open blossom from the center out, it's a quick, satisfying piece, the kind you can finish in an evening or two.
WHAT YOU GET (instant download, ONE PDF):
• A 7" medallion, for a 7-8" hoop, a pillow, a tote/bag panel, or a table-runner centerpiece
• A 5" medallion, for a 5-6" hoop or a framed accent
• A 4" medallion, a smaller hoop or accent (pocket, patch, gift topper)
• A dashed cut-box + 1-inch scale square on every page so it's easy to position and print true-scale
• Prints true-scale on BOTH US Letter and A4, one file, just print at 100%
HOW IT WORKS: 1) Print at 100% (check the 1-inch square) → 2) Trace onto fabric on a lightbox, or print directly onto water-soluble stabilizer → 3) Stitch along the petals with even running stitches, working from the center out → 4) finish and rinse away the stabilizer.
Please note: this is a print-&-stitch TEMPLATE (the motif in three sizes), it does not include step-by-step lessons. Work petal by petal from the center so the bloom stays symmetric. Classic white keeps it crisp, or try a soft sakura pink in a #8 sashiko/perle weight for a spring feel.
