Anyway, during that trawl I found a free online pattern for a little bird purse/bag which looked fun, if a little basic and I then found Nellie's Needles stuffed bird tutorial (moving away from bags here). Catching up with blog reading the other day, I noticed Jackie's "Tweets" and remembered Nellie's Tutorial in my favourites hence a lesson in how to waste fabric with the placement of pattern pieces to achieve the desired effect and I now have my own little bird ..............
The other side ...................
"Flitty" was great fun to do even though being able to stand unaided required lots and lots of encouragement!

Flitty is gorgeous! Love the colours.
Flitty is a wonderful bird! I like the headdress and tail. What did you use for the legs and feet? Shaping and gluing the feet to a shell or piece of drift wood gives my birds a stable foundation. Otherwise, it takes a lot of fiddling around to find the birds balance point.
Flitty is so cute. Bet your really pleased with him or is it a her?
Awesome, what a cutie!
He's lovely! I also love your padfolio in today's the next post. Pity about your worktop! good thing it was your DH who did it LOL
