Umbrellabird 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.

The umbrellabird's crest hangs over its eye, while a long throat ornament descends in front of the chest. Blue-violet shifts describe the black plumage beside three leaves and two figs.

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: Branch, vine and pale lichen; Three leaves and branching veins; Two figs and their stalks; Long tail and folded wing; Chest and hanging throat wattle; Crest, face, eye and bill; Two feet around the branch.

How is the umbrellabird's throat ornament distinguished from its chest?

Keep its outline and downward direction separate from the chest feathers. The dark-on-dark detail needs controlled value changes, not a widened shape or a continuous pale border.

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 dusty rose 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.
