So our first baby is due on April 1 (ha ha!) and after 6 months of not really doing anything in preparation, I began to feel the urgency! I came across an excellent blog post on SewLiberated detailing a Montessori style bedroom for her new baby, Finn. When I saw this post, I was like, WOW! Very inspiring!
One of the beautiful handcrafted items featured in Finn’s Montessori style bedroom was a branch with hand-sewn birds attached. With all the wedding arrangements we’ve been doing with manzanita branches, I knew I could make something similar!
The pattern for making the birds came from the Spool Sewing blog. And I used some various fabrics I stockpiled from our recent trip to Japan.
I had a couple of sand-blasted manzanita branches (about 24″ tall) leftover from a wedding and attached the birds using a glue gun. We’re going to hang the branch on the wall in the baby’s room. Hopefully soon!
