"Feather your nest with this avian collection of easy sewing patterns for beautiful bird designs, all made using simple hand-sewing techniques.

The finished little birdies would make cute brooches, bag charms and home accessories, or can even be scaled up to make bigger soft toys. Each bird pattern can be traced straight from the page (or enlarged), and simple instructions mean that even beginners can get started.
