These are the first of the projects that I was working on in February as they've arrived to their new owners now. They are a pair of cute little bird note/photo holders. I got the pattern from a recent issue of Stitch Magazine. It's actually my favourite sewing magazine. It has the right combination of fun and useful projects, with full patterns and great instructions and lots of tips and stuff. I'd recommend it highly if you're looking for something different. They come out quarterly and you can get them at bookstores or Joann's - especially good if you wait for a coupon!
I made these for my Mum who's developed a liking for little sewn birdies recently. So when I saw the pattern, I thought of making them right away.

This is the small one. The feet and head swirl are made from those coated paperclips.
I had some neat fabric in two colours that I thought would make a really cute pair.
You're supposed to be able to put photos or notes in the top swirl.
Hopefully my hand stitching will stand up to the test!
There was a big and a small one, so I tried one of each.
I also lined them with the opposite fabrics to give a nice surprise if you see into them!
