Description Thought I'd mock up some quick patterns for my husband to use at work if they decide to do sewing stuffs, and we settled on birds!

I made quite a few of these, and figured I would upload them here for you guys, too, because why not, right?

These are very, very simple patterns and projects. I haven't gotten to test them yet, but logically, they should work If you make a plush off of these, please do let me know, I'm super curious to see what they turn out like!

I would recommend making these out of felt, as it's cheap and very easy to work with. You should also hand sew these - there is very little seam allowance on them, because I had intended on doing a whip stitch around the outside, or a back stitch, but either way, my intention was for the sewing to be visible when completed (because it looks cute that way, IMO). You'll need a bit of batting or polyfill, too, but if you have an old pillow that you can cannibalize, there you go!

You can download these PDF's and print them - they have both the cutting and sewing instructions on them, too.

Cutting Directions
- Cut out pattern
- Cut 2x of body, wing, chest and beak

Sewing Directions
- Glue or stitch overlay pieces in place
- Sew around out edge with a whip stitch or your preferred way
- Leave a small gap to fill with stuffing
- Stuff
- Sew up opening

As always, please show me if you made anything from my tutorials. These would be a fantastic way of starting out, IMO, as they're small, easy, and fast :3

These are meant for non-commercial use only (i.e. making them for yourself/friends, not to sell) Please, please please respect my copyright, I would really appreciate it if you want me to keep making tutorials and patterns.

I'm not big on plushes... but on one boring day (should I have one in the next year) I may try to modify this into a The Hunger Games Mockingjay.
