Marabou Stork 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 marabou stands above low burnt grass on long pale legs. Dark folded wing, ivory body and bare pink throat form three separate surfaces, with open petrol cloth around the upright figure.

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: Burnt soil and ash passages; Dry grasses and charred branches; Dark tail and folded wing layers; Ivory belly and shoulder ruff; Bare neck and hanging gular sac; Bare head, eye and long bill; Long legs and grounded toes.

Is the marabou's pink throat worked as feather texture?

No. It represents bare skin and the throat sac, distinct from the ivory body and dark wing. Keep those surface changes visible instead of extending plumage into the neck.

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 dark petrol 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.
