Purple Urple

 

I simply HAD to get some sewing done to soothe my soul. So I went into the studio and started throwing fabric around. These fabrics were not really my original choices, but I have learned that sometimes I need to think less and act on instinct more, so I made this purple bird. I like it.

Sewing really centers me, and I need that, so I'll be making more birds this weekend.

If you want to make birds, you can get my tutorial here, at my Etsy shop. It doesn't require patterns or templates and it isn't paper pieced. I show you the technique, and you can improvise. I give you all the tools. Take a leap, and make a bird. By the way, I updated the tutorial slightly. I added about five pages with new pictures that answer some of my most frequently asked questions. The new tutorial has a green bird on the cover and has a page featuring student birds.
