I am so far behind in my blogs! I have been sewing like mad again and this part just slows me down But my friend jane called yesterday and said "Your blogs got me all inspired, can we come over and make something today?" That is why I do this! More about yesterday later as I am obsessed right now with my birds.
True to typical Portlandia stereotypes, I am a crafty Oregon grrl who likes birds. I have making different stitched birds for a while but the last one is my favorite. I used an old embroidered tea towel which I cut up for one side and the other side is another vintage fabric from the 70's. I used some old lace for the wings.
I made another one out of courduroy and old felted sweater aka wool. I am challenging myself to use repurposed fabrics as much as possible as part of my repurposing campaign.
Clearly I have birdies flying all over my bedroom now. I have some great driftwood sticks from the beach that I want to hang some birdies from and then hang that from the ceiling. It looks like it's time to get out that Dremel rotary tool that I have never used and drill myself some holes!
