i am cutting some some of my favorite hand dyed and vintage wool felt today for a friend and sat my newest little birdie on top of the pretty stack. she looks like the princess and the pea with all her mattresses doesn't she....
a beauty shot~
princess is made using the same pattern as the wedding cake birdies, just using a heavy satin fabric for the body instead of wool. the fabric is actually a vintage coat lining, i just loved the taupe color and the heavy feel of the satin. nothing goes to waste when i take apart an old skirt or jacket. i use the linings to sew ruffles and even use the buttons and old metal zipper! i sewed the pieces right sides together and then turned them right side out to stuff. tiny bits of wool were cut for the wings and beak. i added a little ornament string so she can hang or sit in her nest.
happy monday. julie
