Bird of Paradise, Cloth Doll Pattern (PDF Download) by Arley Berryhill

Make this beautiful & versatile bird doll designed by ARLEY BERRYHILL, which is part soft sculpture & part quilt. --So many opportunities for embellishment! -- Make a phoenix, peacock, or an original bird design of your own.

Measuring 12 inches from beak to tail, with an additional 18 inches of tail feathers, you have options to customize your bird design. You get patterns for two different wings- a set of"flying" wings (which are wired to hold its shape), and a "folded" set of wings. The birds' head is made separate, and can be posed any way you like. The bird can perch on a tall candlestick, or strung up on string to fly! Make it with glitzy fabric, or simple cotton.

FUSIBLE QUILT BATTING is used to make the wings & tail feathers.
