Wheatear 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 wheatear stands on stepped stone beside lichen, small plants and a dry stem. The narrow face mask and warm breast keep the bird distinct from the more granular surfaces of its perch.

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 stepped stone masses; Pale lichen and stone seams; Two leaf cushions and small flowers; Fine dry stem at the left; Folded wing, back and patterned tail; Buff breast, face and fine bill; Two legs and stone-gripping feet.

Is the wheatear's rock filled with the same stitches as its breast?

No. The breast needs feather shading; rock seams and lichen use different surface treatments. Their contrast lets the small upright bird remain the subject above a detailed perch.

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 deep smoky plum-teal 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.
