Pearly Bird is approximately 10.5cm from the top of her head

to the tip of her tail and is made using five different colours of
mid pink, light pink, cream, leaf green and mauve. But as you
can see from the photo below, you can substitute Pearly’s col-
ourways for your own colour choices like with handsome Blue
Barry below. He is made from just four colours but you can lit-
erally go nuts & have a colour explosion!

Sew her or him to an alligator clip, hang from a ribbon or

stick a skewer up its butt and stick it in an indoor plant pot or
vase with your favourite flowers!

Then pop on over to my Facie page and post a pic of your fin-
ished Birdies at:

Apologies for the chipped nail polish.
Fold in half lengthways and working in the outer loops of
each side, slip stich across the 5 sc with an extra stitch
on the end of the new little tube to close it off.
Now you will have 2 thread ends hanging off one end of
the little beak. Thread the finished off end onto the darn-
ing needle and thread through the centre core of the
beak and out the other side, so it is on the same end as
the extra thread at the beginning of your work. Roll lightly
a couple of times between your fingers to even out the
tube shape. The beak will have a slight curve which re-
flects the light curve in a hummingbirds beak!

Completing the Head
With the darning needle still attached, sew the beak onto
the head on the exact opposite side from the beginning
of each rounds, between rounds 6 & 7. Once you have
used the first thread to sew the beak on, leave the end
dangling inside the head piece, tie off. Then thread the
other cotton end onto the darning needle and use to
stitch the beak on a little more firmly, then tie off inside
the head piece.
Then attach 2 x 6mm safety eyes between rows 6 & 7
exactly 90 degrees back from either side of the beak.
The head is complete! Looks a little gruesome?
Don’t worry, he’ll be sewn up soon!

How to make up: Turn your little bird carefully inside out through the gap,
fluff out his tail feathers and gently stuff with the polyes-
Step 1: Start with the head and main body. ter stuffing.
With right sides facing and the head tipped upside down,
make sure the beak and the centre circle on the body
(which was Round 1) are lined up and pin in place.

Each side of the corner of the body should meet up with

the sides of the head just behind each of the eyes.

Sew up the gap at the back of his head and hide all
thread ends in his body.

Using the same colour yarn as one of the colours, or

with invisible thread, sew the head to the body around
from body corner to body corner. Then there will be a
gap at the back of the neck which the back strip attaches
to later.

Then while the bird is still partly inside out, pin the back/
top tail section matching the length of the back to the
length of the body.
Pin his wings into position and sew on.

Add your choice of ribbon to hang, or sew an alligator

clip to his bum and clip him onto anything you please!

Important!!!! And you’re all finished!!

Tuck the top and bottom tail sections inside as the bird
is being sewn inside out!
There will still be a gap between the back of the head
and where it meets the back strip.
Don’t forget to show off your sexy new birdies on my
Facie page. And show him off on your own Facie page!
You’ve worked hard. Show him off! Go on. I dare you!
