Fabric Crow Tutorial

Let’s make some fabric Crows!

These soft-sculptured Crows have quilting on their wings and tail to look like feathers. They are much easier to make than they look, and the Pattern and Instructions are written for any level of sewist.

You can find both a PDF sewing pattern and in-the-hoop designs for embroidery machines here at Ballyhoo Creations. The sewing pattern makes a 13″ Crow, while the Embroidery Machine designs make a 10″ and 15″ version. You may resize however you like. And each pattern includes both a Standing and Flying Version of the Crow cloth figures.
