Birdie Pillow

Hi there, I’ve just made up a sample for Picture Patchwork & it was sooo easy & fun that I had to let you know about it!!!
We have a beautiful range of fabric just in at Picture Patchwork called Make Do and Mend by Michele D’Amore & seeing as birds seem to be very “in” at the moment & we have the ‘Hello Birdie” pillow pattern in store  by The Red Thread, I thought I would combine the two. (Actually Elaine thought it would be a good idea too!) By the way I have always loved birds so am very happy about birds being popular!
AS I said it was very easy to whip up, a perfect project for someone who is just starting out sewing, or an item that could easily be be sewn by hand or machine,up to you really.
Great little project if you are travelling around in 1 of the many motor homes we get through our towns,sitting out under the annexe wiling away the evening with a glass of red or white in your hand.
The girls at Fresh , (Janet & Zenette) have already made 3 up that are roosting on their shelves so they will know what I am on about. If you want to pop in & check them out they would be only to happy to help you out.
The finished pillow is approx 40cms x 45cms, & a few would look great on shelves or a couch.I sewed my bird all by machine including the blanket stitch around the appliqué pieces. Patterns are available for $14.95, or we could make you a kit for $25.00. The fabric range is $22.00 p/m

The Make DO & Mend range of fabric comes in pretty soft tones of pink,green, burgundy,brown, caramel & blue & in several different designs over the range.This is a lovely range with a touch of old world charm. A couple of the designs have sewing notions on them & would look great on a canvas on a wall in a sewing room!!
Happy sewing, Jen
