Mini Birds Stick and Stitch Embroidery Pattern
Mini Birds Stick and Stitch Embroidery Pattern
Couldn't load pickup availability
Twelve backyard birds, drawn small and clean, each one a species you can actually name. The nuthatch works its way down a stem. The wren holds its tail the way a wren does. The swallow is mid-flight with its tail streamers open. These are the birds off your own feeder, sized to fit places a bigger design never could.
Small designs stitch fast. Put one on a shirt cuff, a collar, a pocket, the corner of a tote, a hat band, or the spot on a denim jacket that needed something.
How Stick and Stitch Works
Stick and stitch is the easiest way to embroider. Print your designs on water-soluble stabilizer paper (like Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy), peel and stick it right onto any fabric, then stitch over the design. When you're done, rinse with warm water and the paper dissolves completely, leaving only your beautiful embroidery behind. No transfer pens, no tracing, no guesswork.
- Twelve Named Species: White-breasted Nuthatch, American Robin, Eastern Bluebird, Northern Cardinal, American Goldfinch, Blue Jay, Wren, Barn Swallow, Tufted Titmouse, Hummingbird, Hairy Woodpecker, and Mourning Dove.
- Beginner Friendly: All outline work, so a backstitch and a stem stitch will carry the whole set.
- Endlessly Reusable: Print as many copies as you need. One purchase, unlimited projects.
What You'll Need

FAQs
What's the difference between lightweight and regular T-shirts?
The main difference between lightweight and regular t-shirts is in the fabric weight and fit.
Lightweight t-shirts are more stretchy, and have a thinner, airier feel, making them perfect for a casual, comfortable fit with slight cling.
Regular t-shirts, on the other hand, are thicker and more structured, offering a more durable and relaxed fit and nice drape.
Both feature super soft, preshrunk cotton.
Where do you ship your products from?
I design every piece in this shop myself. Once you order, the design goes to a print partner with facilities worldwide, so your piece is printed and shipped from whichever one is closest to you.
Nothing gets printed until someone wants it. No warehouse of unsold stock, no shipping across the country twice. Less waste, fewer emissions, a tidier planet for the birds.
Can I return or exchange items?
This is a print-on-demand item. It will be manufactured and shipped to you by my eco-aware print partner, Printful.
I use this method to reduce pollution, waste, and shipping distance, making the planet a lil nicer for the birds.
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order. So, it takes a bit longer to deliver it to you.
