Tweet Tweet Birdie

My lovely and super creatively clever swap partner for Cat's Handmade Tilda Christmas Swap was Max.

She let me know she received her parcel on Friday which included these Tilda Birds. And they like them - so now I can share :)

A collection of 5 birds.  Very easy to make just following the pattern!


Outline on fabric, sew, trim it back, turn, stuff, add decorations, paint beak and eyes and they're done.
For the one above I used the same yellow "string" as for the first bird but braided it.  Because it's synthetic in nature a bit of heat fused the three strands together at each end.  Plain old craft glue keeps it in place around the neck. 

The pattern for these guys is from the Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle book.

I borrowed a copy from the Library.

  10. They're gorgeous - I'm thinking of some birdies as Christmas decorations and they look like they'd fit the bill (looks like Roslyn and I have the same though, now that I read the comment above).
