What Is Hitohari Tsuzuri?
Collect your favorite little motifs, like gathering treasures.
Hitohari Tsuzuri are small embroidery kits for stitching a single motif. Tsuzuri means “to bind” in Japanese: as you file each finished piece and its pattern into one binder, you build a pattern book that is yours alone.

POINT
Why you’ll love Hitohari Tsuzuri
◦Just the motif you want.
Rather than one large project, each kit is a small kit for stitching a single motif. Choose what you love, when you like, starting with just one.
◦Easy on price and shipping.
From ¥1,650 (tax included) per motif. Shipping within Japan is a flat ¥240 (tax included) by Click Post — and it stays ¥240 however many you combine in one order.
◦File them away, keep the patterns forever.
File each finished piece and its pattern, one motif at a time, in the original covered binder. It becomes your very own pattern book to revisit anytime.
◦Step-by-step video lessons.
Even the smallest motif comes with a video showing exactly how to stitch it. Go at your own pace, one stitch at a time.
HOW TO

STEP 2
File it in your binder
Keep the finished piece and its pattern together in the original covered binder.
STEP 3
Stitch it anytime, on anything
Look back through your patterns and add a small motif to your favorite clothes, a handkerchief or a bag, using thread you already have. You can also join your collected motifs into a sampler or a bag.

FABRIC
One-of-a-kind fabrics
Mikako Yamamoto chooses the fabric for each kit from linens and prints carefully kept in the atelier. Which fabric you receive is a little surprise until you open the box. More about our fabrics
