Last year, I created this little bluebird for my sister-in-law. I thought it would be fun to turn it into a pattern to share here on BuzzinBumble.

| Bluebird Applique Pattern |
This is a pattern for raw edge applique.
It could also be used for needle turned applique if you add a little
turn under allowance around the edges of each piece.
I
have left the bird’s eye, beak, and feet as a part of the whole pattern. I worked with them as a whole and drew them
onto the fabric before cutting out the shapes.
For the birdy feet, I partially drew them onto the fencepost on which my
bird perches. You can also cut these
parts from separate fabrics.
Batik
fabrics work very well, because you can fussy cut elements that have the look
of feathers. I took it a step further by
using Derwent Inktense Pencils to add details, colors, and shading. They are really fun to work with and become a
permanent part of the fabric.
Please
feel free to use this pattern. I would
love to hear what you think!

Just popping in from Lets bee Social. My goodness that is the best Bluebird block I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThat is really lovely! We always have bluebirds nesting on our road and they are not always easy to see.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird appliqué! The feathers, eye and beak look so realistic... How did you managed to add yellow and grey around the beak and eye? The whole block look like paint. So gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
