PDF Crow Sewing Pattern with Quilted details in 2 poses

Tools
•    Sewing Machine with fresh needle appropriate for your fabric choices
•    Sharp fabric scissors
•    Hemostats or other tool for turning and stuffing the body
•    Long doll needle and strong thread for closing the seam openings (or fabric glue)
•    Wire Cutters and Pliers for working with armature wire
•    Pins or clips to hold fabrics together while stitching
•    Fabric marking pen or chalk (for marking pattern placements)
•    Tape measure or ruler
•    Fabric Glue: Fabri-tac™ works well.   Also, Surebonder® fine tip hot glue gun with their fabric glue sticks work very well.

Materials
•    Fabrics – 1/3 yard of 45” to 60” wide stretch fabric or fleece per Crow.  (See pattern layout – you might be able to squeeze 2 Crows from 1/3 yard of  60” wide fabric.)
•    Black fleece is best suited for this project.  You may also use other black stretch or non-fray fabrics with this pattern to get a different look.  Woven fabrics could also be used if you want a frayed raw edge on wings and tail for a more raggedy-looking crow.
•    Lightweight tear-away stabilizer, (Sulky® Tear-Easy™ works well)
•    Wing and & tail stiffener – you have two options:

• Use regular quilt batting
• Or use Annie’s™ Soft & Stable™ foam interfacing which gives a sturdier wing with more puffiness.

•    Machine Sewing thread for top thread and bobbin.  It’s suggested your top and bobbin color match your fabric, but you could choose contrasting thread if you prefer
•    Fiberfill Stuffing for body
•    Glass beads for eyes –  size 6/0 for small beady eyes, or size 2/0 for larger eyes.  You could also use button or jewels for a different look.
•    1/16” aluminum armature wire or 16 gauge aluminum wire –

• 6 feet (183 cm) for the standing crow,
• 1.5 feet (46 cm) for flying crow

•    (Optional) Floral tape or other soft tape to cover Standing Crow’s legs and feet.  Electrical tape is also useful for covering sharp ends of wire.
•    (Optional) Acrylic or latex paint to cover Crow legs and feet on Standing Crow.
