Little Bird

This was my favorite project in the book. I wanted to note the recommended supply list (as I again ventured away from the suggested list again).

The supply list that I used for this project:

Supplies

AGF Fat Quarter Color Master Collectors Box, Freshwater Edition
6” square grey linen
100gm Natural Toy Filling Stuffing
6” square of bamboo batting
90/14 Universal needle
Matching thread
Contrast thread
Black embroidery floss
Embroidery needle
Hand sewing needle
Fabric marking pen that is iron dissolvable (or water dissolvable)
Iron
Glass head sewing pins
Small Paint brush

This project is one that I admittedly started and later went back and read the directions in more detail. The first bird that I started did not have the seam allowances added into the pattern pieces. I made an error with the wings and decided to stop sewing this version (but I think it would be fun to come back and finish this smaller version of the bird):.

I enjoyed using linen for the base of the bird and the AGF prints for the other elements.

I like using a thin paint brush handle as a point turner. It helps push the fabric out of a small space (like in this case, the tail of the bird) but it won’t poke through the fabric and cause a hole to form.
