Kinusaiga Christmas Patterns

Turn your fabric scraps into Christmas artwork worth framing - no sewing, no needles, no experience needed.

Kinusaiga is a traditional Japanese fabric art in which small pieces of fabric are tucked into grooves carved in a foam board. There is no stitching. There is no glue on the surface. There is just you, your scraps, a craft knife and a quiet afternoon - and at the end of it, a finished piece of textile art you can hang on the wall or give away.

This book contains 30 original Christmas designs, drawn specifically for beginners.

Inside you'll find:

• 30 full-size templates, printed at 7 × 7 inches, one pattern per page - no resizing, no scaling, no maths
• One pattern per page, printed on a single side, so you can trace or cut without destroying the design on the back
• Bold, generous shapes with no fiddly slivers, designed to be genuinely achievable on your first attempt
• Two QR codes inside the book that unlock your bonus files: full-color reference photos for all 30 designs, and printable pattern files in five sizes - 5×5, 7×7, 8×8, 10×10 and 14×14 inches - so you can make anything from a small tree ornament to a large statement piece for the wall
• A complete beginner's guide: the tools you need, how to transfer the pattern (including tracing methods that don't require cutting into the book), how to cut the grooves, how to choose and tuck your fabric, and how to finish and frame the piece
• Fabric and colour suggestions for every design

The designs: Santa's workshop, a snow-covered Christmas village, woodland animals in winter, a cosy cabin at night, tree ornaments, cardinals, pine and holly, snowflakes, candles, and more.

Perfect for: quilters with a scrap basket they can't bear to throw out; anyone who wants a calm, screen-free craft; people looking for handmade Christmas gifts and decorations; beginners who have never tried fabric art before.

Work through one design an evening, or take your time over a single piece. Either way, you end up with something you made by hand.
