Print at 100% / Actual size, then measure the square on each sheet: it should be 25 mm. See the printing guide for joining multiple pages. These files passed digital print checks; physical paper and fabric tests are pending. Use the size tool below if your board has different dimensions.

Print preview — 4 sheets of A4 (portrait) · each section 155 × 155 mm · finished size 300 × 300 mm

These sheets make one continuous drawing. Each page is a full-size section. Trim at the corner marks, match the repeated 10 mm strip at the dashed line, and tape the sheets together before transferring the pattern to your board.

At these proportions, one A4 sheet fits about 190 × 190 mm. A larger finished size needs joined pages or larger-format printing. See the assembly guide.

Colour reference

A fabric-planning aid — printed sheets always contain the line art with region numbers.

Colour reference for Window Cat & Moon: 9 numbered regions

Materials

  • Foam board (kinusaiga base) — 300 × 300 mm or larger recommended
  • Fabric scraps: deep indigo (night sky), pale gold (moon and star), moss (ground), two warm neutrals (body and head), darker neutral (tail)
  • Craft knife or groove stylus
  • Fabric tucking tool with a fine tip for the ears and star
  • Optional frame or edge covering for the finished piece

Tips for this pattern

  • Tuck the large sky and moon first, then the ground, then work from the tail up to the head.
  • Cut the ear and star fabrics generously oversized — narrow grooves pull fabric in as you tuck.
  • Test your tucking tool on a scrap groove before starting the star; it is the tightest shape in the pattern.
