I recently splurged and spent some Christmas and birthday gift money on some new bird fabrics. There is always some new bird or parrot-themed fabric that is tempting me to buy it. It used to be difficult to find new bird fabrics, but not any more. There is a wide selection of wild bird fabrics, parrot fabrics, owl fabrics, or feather fabrics to choose from.

Living Wonders- Parrot Paradise

My bird-themed fabric collection now has well over 100 different fabrics. Some I have never used, some are favorites that I have made into various bird and parrot bags and other fabric creations, and some are the last small piece or remnant of a beautiful fabric that I wish I had bought yards of, but did not. Some of those rare pieces are too valuable to use up, so I hang onto them. They will probably get used eventually, but who knows how long they will stay in the fabric stash?

Garden Sparrows

Mid-winter seems to be a creative lull period at Bags of a Feather. The holiday rush is over, it is still along ways until spring, and I usually feel somewhat uninspired to sew anything new. This has happened the last few years, and sometimes I do not sew anything at all for weeks at a time. I did do some garment alterations recently for an elderly family member, including some stretchy knit dress and pants hems. It was fun to use some of the fancy stitches and foot attachments on my Janome sewing machine, and I was happy with the way they turned out.
