This pattern contains full size pattern and direction for making a 6" x 7" wool felt fabric bag using hand stitches.  There are directions for how to make the stitches used.

Materials

• 8” x 16” felted wool fabric for bag
• 2 felted wool strips 1/2” x 14” for straps
• 4” x 4” felted wool fabric for bird body
• 4” x 4” felted wool fabric for bird wing
• 12 beads for berries
• Wool applique needle
• Thread for stitching (embroidery, sashiko thread, or Perle cotton are all suitable. I used knitting wool for the stitching the bag pieces together and Aurifil wool thread for the appliqué. Choose your threads to suit the look you want :-)

• This bird design will lend itself nicely to other uses, particularly to outline stitch embroidery, and needle punching.  Directions for these are not included :-)

Printing Tips

• Use regular size copy paper
• To be sure this pattern prints at the right size check that your printer is set at 100%. Your printer probably calls this 'paper scaling' and if it says 'none' that will be the same as 100%
• For  patterns with pieces larger than 8 x 11, you will need to match and tape pattern pages together to make the design 'whole'
• You can save ink and paper by printing only the pages you need and reading the others on screen.
