❗ THIS IS FOR A SEWING PATTERN, IT IS NOT FOR A FINISHED PLUSH ❗
🧾 Instruction Language: ENGLISH 🧾
🐥 PET BIRD & PLAGUE BIRD PLUSH .PDF PATTERN 🐥
This listing is for a .pdf instant download of a plush sewing pattern. It is templates and instructions for how to make a round, chubby bird with lots of variations for mimicking your favorite small or domesticated birds! Some of the examples include a budgie parakeet, cockatiel, cockatoo, cardinal, lovebird, canary, raven, and pigeon (complete with New York pizza slice). You have the option to use jewelry wire for posable wings or standing legs, or leave the wire out for closed wings and sitting legs.
As a bonus! This pattern includes a hack for turning your bird into a plague bird! Swap out the face with the included plague doctor mask. The instructions also include how to make a hat, cape or hooded cape, and lantern to complete the plague doctor look.
It is sewing pattern with complete instructions to create the plush from start to finish -- including step-by-step photos and a printable pattern. It includes extra info on choosing fabrics, tools to get started, printing your pattern, and cutting your fabric. This project is not recommended for absolute beginners, but I do my best to explain everything in detail for those rogue confident newbies that want a challenge :)
🧵 The face has instructions for fusible web applique, but embroidery files are also available: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1331562427/simple-bird-eyes-machine-embroidery-file
