Ruby-throated Hummingbird 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 ruby-throated hummingbird flies above a broad sea. A small red throat sits between green plumage and a pale belly, with narrow wings extending from the compact body rather than dominating the scene.

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: Three overlapping sea planes; Low cloud bank and pale foam; Short forked tail and pale belly; Green back, crown and shoulder; Two narrow flight wings; Ruby gorget and throat boundary; Eye, fine bill and final facial gaps.

Is the hummingbird's ruby throat a large filled area?

No. It is a concentrated accent at the throat. Keep it within the drawn head and neck structure, with green and pale feather areas remaining distinct around it.

Size and printing

The full design field is 30 × 23.2 cm, including margins, in landscape 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 smoky warm rust-plum 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.
