She has checked out their shapes, plumage, and markings, and spent so much time trying to perfect their colourful, beautiful wings. It became an obsession! It was only by researching the various details that make each breed so distinctive that Alison has been able to capture each of their unique qualities and differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePattern, colour, and shape are key, so capturing these details in felt was important. Luckily, there are so many different colours of felt available! Felt's non-fraying, double-sided, robust qualities make it easy to create all the little details that make each bird design so unique and instantly recognisable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach bird pattern can be traced straight from the page (or enlarged if you want to sew a larger plush), and simple instructions mean that even beginners can get started. And because all the birds are sewn by hand, you don't need a sewing machine and can sit out in the garden with the birds while you sew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you choose to sew just your own favourites, or make gifts for other bird-lovers in your life, this book will provide hours of fun and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAUTHOR:\u003c\/em\u003e Alison J Reid is a teacher, textile designer, author, and illustrator.
