I have a gorgeous small aviary and potting shed built on the back of my home. The aviary no longer has real birds but will become a whimsical area with fabric song birds, plants, lights, and Cd’s of bird songs. I can’t wait!

The pattern instructions are clear and easy to follow. The photos are clear and are extremely helpful with the text directions. I am working on soft sculpture birds for my Masters in Art Education. The form of the songbird pattern is exactly what I needed. Something that can become whimsical yet look realistic when needed. I am so glad you made this pattern and will credit you in multiple parts of my Theses portfolio.

I just finished my first bird. It looks fabulous! Thank you for the great pattern. It was very easy to follow. The images accompanied every step. Do purchase wool stuffing as recommended. It will mold the shape better and give weight to your bird.
