I drew the pattern free-hand then cut it out of heavy card stock.
They're very simple, and very cute.
I enjoyed sitting down with them in front of a Christmas movie, that is, when I could! Eloise liked the pretty colours of the felt and kept trying to play with it. So I gave her a little square and that kept her happy.
I liked the simple blanket stitch around the edges - they're by no means perfect, but it wouldn't be handmade with love if it was! I try not to dwell on the flaws or be a perfectionist.
When I do crafts, I do it because I find it fun! If it has to be 'perfect' the fun goes right out the window!
So here's a few of my finished ones. :)
Oh, and here's playtime with grandpapa!
Merry Christmas!
Peace,

Those are so cute! Our Christmas tree had loads of them in it when I was little, my mom made them. Except she'd gone overboard and acquired christmas patterned fabrics hah. I love that photo of your wee one with her grandpa.
The birdies are adorable. Merry Christmas.
I LOVE the birdies, they're just perfect :)
and I love the pic of grandpa and Eloise :)
Your felt birdies are very cute!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Blessings!
