The past couple of weeks I have been working on some fall decor items and everything fall in my sewing and stamping rooms.
I had some cute fall fabrics out so I thought I would make some cute little fall birds with it.
The pattern for these birds is an old Sizzix die cut. I cut out the shape in cardboard and then trace it onto fabric to sew the birds. I sew on the line and leave a small hole near the tail for turning and stuffing the birds.
Then I add some sort of embellishment for the wings and a gold cord hoop for hanging them. You can put them in a bowl or hang them on a tree or cabinet knob, etc.
I love making them in different fabrics. It allows the birds to be used for any season or to match different decor colors.
Here they are in rust and in a pretty yellow leaf fabric.
I had in mind to make some black crows but then I found this pretty black fabric with fall flowers on it. They're not exactly crows, but I love how they turned out. :)
How many birds have I made in total? I don't know, maybe hundreds. I love these little fellas. They're fast, fun and easy to make.
