Blue-footed Booby hand embroidery pattern with a 20-page PDF stitch guide. This is a digital download for stitching by hand; no finished embroidery or supplies are included.

A blue-footed booby lifts one turquoise foot while the other stands on coastal rock. A bowed head, pale breast and brown wing keep the upper figure restrained, leaving the raised foot clearly visible.

Inside the guide

A numbered map divides the design into 7 working areas. The guide includes stitch direction and sequence, preparation, practice samples, finishing guidance and 20 suggested DMC shades.

Working areas: Coastal rock planes; Mineral seam and dry grass; Tail and brown wing; Pale breast and lower body; Streaked neck and bowed head; Eye and long pointed bill; Blue legs and webbed feet.

Do both of the booby's feet touch the rock?

No. One foot is lifted. Preserve its webbed shape and the space beneath it; the other foot supplies the visible standing contact.

Files included

  • Colour reference JPG

Size and printing

The full design field is 23.2 × 30 cm, including margins, in portrait orientation. This is the drawing field, not the bird’s body length. Print the A3 PDF at Actual Size / 100% and measure the 50 mm control bar. Allow extra fabric beyond the field for mounting or sewing.

Before you stitch

Suggested level: intermediate to advanced. Use stable, even-weave linen, six-strand embroidery cotton, a fine needle and a frame that accommodates the design. The reference shows oxblood burgundy linen. Test your transfer method and the suggested thread colours on your chosen cloth before starting; screen colours and thread dye lots vary.

File use

The PDF guide is in English. No physical item is shipped. The SVG contains linework, not machine-embroidery stitches. Lifestyle images do not include sewing patterns for the objects shown.

Personal, non-commercial use only. Do not resell, share or redistribute the files, linework or reference images.

Design note

AI tools were used in developing the design and reference visuals. Lifestyle images are digital placement concepts, not photographs of a stitched sample.
