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.
