I’m LOVING all the feedback photos you’ve been posting of the Best Wishes BABY BIRD Pattern<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. Today I am going to highlight some of the cool ways people are using this pattern!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use the Embroidery Grids to sew a memory toy!<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Best Wishes\u00a0BABY BIRD\u00a0has
\n2 embroidery spaces (with grids)!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Best Wishes Baby Bird<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span> has a large, single-piece tummy with a 5 x 5inch<\/strong> space for embroidering a \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d or\u00a0 \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d message, plus the wings have a 3 x 3inch<\/strong> grid marked up for embroidering.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Here you can see how the embroidery areas are marked with grids on the pattern pieces for easy centering\/set up for placement of embroidery designs. You can add names & dates using hand or machine embroidery or heat transfer vinyl (cut with a Cricut machine or similar).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The large TUMMY SPACE is great for\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Baby clothes – fussy cut a cute graphic or text!<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jan Hofman <\/strong>sewed this pretty pink Best Wishes BABY BIRD<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for her 4 year old grand daughter. She preserved a special graphic from a t-shirt using the Best Wishes Baby Bird “no-seam” tummy piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Steve Palmer<\/strong> sewed this Best Wishes BABY BIRD<\/a><\/strong><\/span> as a gift for a friend. He used used a baby onesie on the tummy and selected fabrics to compliment the colors. He didn’t have stripes to match for the wing tips, so he used a fabric that resembles feathers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Best Wishes BABY BIRD<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0was sewn by Janine.M.<\/strong>\u00a0used using her son’s old baby clothes that she says she couldn’t bare to throw away. I like how she used the space on the wings to feature cute animal designs. The space under the wings is a great place for putting extra details, too!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Elena DAuria<\/strong> made this cute Best Wishes BABY BIRD<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0out of baby onesies. She liked that the baby bird had big spaces for placement – like the Pooh Bear on his tummy!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The TUMMY space is perfect for embroidery.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Shelly Hibbs <\/strong>made this cute Best Wishes BABY BIRD<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span> for her new craft “she-shed” being built in the spring, and used the large “no-seam” tummy space for embroidery!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

The TUMMY space is perfect for embroidering a baby’s <\/span><\/strong>birth stats.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Best Wishes BABY BIRD is a perfect pattern for embroidered baby keepsakes.\u00a0<\/span>Emma Williamson <\/strong>made this cute Best Wishes BABY BIRD<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span> out of her maternity shirts and maternity jeans with some cotton scrap accents. Her embroidery machine birth stats design looks great on the “no-seam” tummy!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And for a large initial.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Heather Hitt<\/strong> embroidered a large initial for an understated custom look on her Best Wishes BABY BIRD. <\/a><\/strong>A three-initial monogram would also look great on the tummy or the wings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For adding a name…<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you’re using a onesie or T-shirt design for the tummy panel and don’t have room to add a name or date, just use the wings! Arianna Villela<\/strong> sewed this Best Wishes BABY BIRD<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and used HTV to add the child’s name on the wing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
