Embroidered Birds and their Habitats: Hand embroidery techniques and inspiration

Product Information

Cut 2 of the wing shapes from patterned fabric and then secure them in position using a running stitch. The line is very fine which makes it easier to stitch more neatly and to remove it you use heat, so you iron your fabric and it’s gone. Overall my favorite Naturalist Art Book whether you like the plants or birds it's a 10 on the rictor scale for beauty. Stop just before the end and stuff a little fibre fill into the gap, then finish stitching around the bird. In the book, the author takes her reader through the whole creation of a habitat and the birds that go in it.
