Create a charming flock of decorative plush birds with Simplicity Pattern 9774 by Carla Reiss Design. This sewing pattern is designed for accessories and is a lovely choice if you enjoy a project with a little more detail. The birds range from 16" (41 cm) to 18" (46 cm) tall, making them a delightful handmade addition for your home or a thoughtful gift.

Each bird has its own character: the crane is finished with calla lilies, the spoonbill with pinked-edged flowers, the flamingo with tropical flowers, and the ostrich with fabric roses. You can also add fabric flower embellishments, button eyes with faux eyelashes, inner bean bag weight and long legs for posing. It’s a fun project for anyone who likes decorative sewing and working with fabric by the metre, cotton fabric, linen fabric or other dressmaking fabric from your stash.

This Simplicity pattern is rated intermediate and comes with clear instructions. Seam allowance of 1.5 cm is included unless stated otherwise, so you do not need to add it yourself. The pattern is supplied in envelope format and is suitable for one size.

Whether you are looking for a creative sewing pattern for accessories or simply a new haberdashery project to enjoy, this design offers plenty of scope for personal touches and a polished handmade result.
