Today I'm sharing the last free project - a tutorial for sewing two felt blackbirds. The blackbirds were originally designed as part of the "In the Garden" chapter but didn't make the final line-up.
Like many birds, the male and female blackbirds are different colours. You can choose your favourite, make the pair of birds or use your imagination to create a new, colourful species!
Super Cute-Felt Animals is published by CICO Books, RRP £12.99. It includes 35 fun felt projects, each with illustrated step-by-step instructions. It's available to buy at Amazon UK and Amazon USA and many other bookshops.

Pretty! I didn't see the black sequins at first, in person the blackbird should look all shiny and even more cute than it is in the pictures (which is a lot)!
These are the cutest! :)
Manu - yes, it is lovely and sparkly in real life! Sequins are soooo tricky to photograph :)
Leanne - thanks! x
Excellent tip about doubling up the legs, much easier than cutting two out first and trying to match them up. I wouldn't have thought of doing it like that!
Thanks Heather! It is MUCH easier than cutting out two shapes and sewing them together - no need to worry about cutting out both shapes so they perfectly match, and more felt to hold on to as you sew :)
Thanks Marsha! :)
I love these 'extras' to the Super Cute Felt book. I can't wait to get started on the blackbirds.
Anon - I hope you'll have fun sewing your birds x
The birds are adorable and you've given us a free pattern! How very lovely you are.
~Happy 2014~
