The Value of Birds

 

The Value of Birds

a coinpurse shaped like a bird, with velcro closure, approx 4" across

For Project Quilting 15.5:  Wearables

For this week's challenge, we were meant to create something 'wearable', and apparently bags and pouches qualify!  I found a little pattern for this bird wallet to be made by lacing leather together, but I adjusted it for my supplies.  I used fabric and a very stiff fusible interfacing.  There is a button eye and a bit of velcro holding the wing flap down. 

Its lined, and fully functionally as a coin purse:

Birds are a valuable member of our ecosystems all over the world in their capacity as insect eaters, and seed spreaders.  They also provide food for other creatures. Let's take care that our feathered friends don't become further endangered. 

Peace,
