This fun pattern is designed by Stephanie Smith. It is featured in the Stitch Spring 2012 issue.
I have a huge collection of magnets. When I saw these cute birdies, I couldn't resist stitching up a half dozen of them! I'm definitely keeping one or two, but maybe I'll part with a few..
They came together very easily. I used thicker home decor fabric for the bodies, and wool taken from blazers and other second hand garments for the wings. Rare earth magnets make these strong enough to hold a grocery list, even with the weight of the bird.
They are so cute!! I wish I were a better sewer!
