Stitched Bird

Well, this project will go a lot smoother next time!  
I had to make my own pattern... which means a lot of revising!  
I am still not 100% happy with it ... which means I have to make another one!

I want to start making some birds for my classroom and this project
only took a little bit of fabric.  I had some fabric samples recently 
given to me from a friend that I mentioned in a previous post (thanks, Leigh!).

Anyway, here are the pictures of the bird as it progressed.  

After I drew the pattern, I cut it out and then cut my material.  I used a simple stitch and sewed it
to look like it was "inside out" to give it a more vintage feel.



You can see in the next pictures that I cut the tail down significantly! 



And, here it is... finished in my crafting area! 


I have to admit that when I was in Adobe Photoshop, I played with the color.  
I am convinced that my next bird with have to be a black and 
white check.... what do you think?!?! 


I hope this inspires you to use a little creativity and a 
little bit of scrap material to make a cute project.

If you have a minute to type in your email address on the side of my blog,
I would absolutely {L O V E} for you to follow me! :-)

Until next time, be blessed!
