Let's make some fabric Crows!
These soft-sculpture Crows have quilting on wings and tail to give the look of feathers. They are much easier to make than they look, and the Pattern and Instructions are written for any level of sewist.
You can find both a PDF sewing pattern and in-the-hoop designs for embroidery machines here at Ballyhoo Creations. The sewing pattern makes a 13" Crow, while the Embroidery Machine designs make a 10" and 15" version. You may resize however you like. And each pattern includes both a Standing and Flying Version of the Crow cloth figures.
The free video is provided in ADDITION to the Photo Instructions in your download. Plus the PDF Instructions can be zoomed in when viewed on a computer or tablet so you can see all the details in the photos.
