Make One or a Whole Flock of These Cute Birds

They’re a Great Use of Scraps!

This darling bird is so cute and fun in any color combination. Once you get started you mind find yourself making a whole flock.

Add hanging loops and turn them into ornaments, tuck them into a centerpiece, decorate a wreath or use them as pin cushions. They also make charming gifts.

Make them up in Christmas prints and hang them on the tree. Spring fabrics will be fun on an Easter egg tree. Or simply choose colors you love.

The birds are perfect for scraps, even the smallest bits. While the instructions are for hand sewing, much of the stitching can be done on the machine. Use a Purple Thang or other pointy tool to turn the small pieces.

Sarah from Red Rocking Bird demonstrates how they’re made in the following video. You’ll also need the cutting template found here.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
