[@pamelataylor3537]

Hi, new subscriber from Australia. I’ve just been binge watching your videos and I’ve stopped with the bird one, only cos I have to get up early in the morning. I don’t have my sewing machine with me as it’s in storage, a brand new one that I purchased but never had the opportunity to even open the box. My other new one, which I’d just got used to was smashed up in an accident. I’ve been loving all your videos so far. Im not a very experienced sewer but I do love to give things a go and I’ve noticed how well you explain things as you go along. I can’t wait to have a go and try making a few of these items. You do make them look easy, so I’m hoping if I take my time, I’ll be able to make the things that I really like. I cannot wait to make quite a few of the birds and also the butterflies. I loved the tea towels and the scarves for the kitchen, I’m wanting to try making a few of them along with the bowl holder. I think your projects are all gorgeous. TFS with everyone. Just wanted to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed your videos so far and how I’m looking forward to beginning. I don’t always comment but I’ll always watch. Have a great week.

[@creativesewing2825]

So beautiful ❤️

[@NotchesSewing]

Thank you

[@lindagillingham9015]

What a brilliant video thankyou

[@NotchesSewing]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching😊

[@poohbear101]

These would be cute sitting on a plant, adding a small nest. I also cut smaller birds off the original pattern to sit in the nest.

[@NotchesSewing]

That is such a great idea! Thanks for watching.

[@dipikabhatt8651]

You make it look so… easy.

Thanks for subbing! Have fun sewing Jamie!😊

[@berniecelee5062]

Awwwww so pretty 😍!! Nicely done , Angela 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 love these birds 💕💕 My fabrics are not as pretty as yours so I will be going shopping. Sale at 50% for solids and printed cotton ….yay ! Do you know to laminate fabrics ? Cause I want several of these on my mommy’s grave . And also on my aunt and uncle’s grave . I want them to be water repellent. Maybe I will put some on sticks for my planters , Mother’s Day gift for my mother in law. I am going to figure out a way to also put your butterflies at mommy’s grave. Every time I see a butterfly I think it’s my mommy saying hello. My brothers are going to think I am nuts , but they appreciate when pretty up mommy’s grave. I plant her a fresh garden every year with colourful annuals . They help me water it from Spring to Fall. Oh …so excited to make these ! 🥰🥰 And I agree with Sharon Lalli ….toooo beautiful for a cat toy. Thanks so much for posting a distraction 😁😁😁 ….I am going to enjoy going shopping for fabrics !

[@NotchesSewing]

Hi Berniece! Glad you like them. You can use Heat N Bond to add vinyl coating to your fabric. I think there is also a liquid version too but I’ve never used it. I guess the other solution would be to use waterproof fabric but not sure how well they will turn inside out. You can fill with plastic instead of batting. ( like I did in my cat toy video). I think it’s a nice project you’ve got planned😊

[@DayDreamer-bm6vo]

You make it look so easy to sew. They look lovely. Cannot wait for the pattern, any idea when you will be posting it?

These are cute. It's a shame you didn't include the pattern

[@NotchesSewing]

Link is in the description and also first comment. Cheers!😊

[@gloriacabeen2819]

Well, I finished my first one; it's not as perfect as yours, of course. I am using a home sewing machine, Janome HD3000, and I find that trying to start stitching on an edge sometimes doesn't work, so I sew toward the edges instead. Also, I used a 2.0 length for the main sewing and increased the length to 3.0 for topstitching on the tail. Giving us stitch length would be helpful. Thank you!

[@NotchesSewing]

Glad you made it!

[@needlenude]

If I don't have a fabric notcher, can I just use a scissor? Lovely video!

[@NotchesSewing]

Absolutely. Just don’t cut too deep as you are sewing ¼” seam allowance. Cheers!

[@needlenude]

@@NotchesSewing thanks!

[@allisonc194]

I can’t find the PDF pattern. These are so cute!! I want to make with my granddaughter. Please tell me where I can find the free PDF pattern. Thank you.

[@NotchesSewing]

[@joycefung2473]

Hello Angela, thank you for your video and your pattern :) I have purchased your pattern and have just successfully finished your bird! Would you be able to tell us how you came up with the pattern? I am looking at making my own birds but have no idea how to create a pattern, especially the bottom part where it needs to match up with the top part's notches. Thank you!

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks so much Joyce. There was no real method to making this pattern. Whenever I design something, I will make a rough pattern and sometimes make over 20 samples before I am happy with final result. It is from the final sewn item that take apart and I then draft my final pattern. It is also from sewing all the samples that I come up with the best method to sew efficiently. You can try reprinting the pattern at a smaller scale for different sizes or use mine as a base and change head and tail shape etc. Cheers!

[@SewFelicia]

I just noticed you mentioned to print on letter size paper. Wondering if anyone has been able to print it on A4 paper in Australia?

[@NotchesSewing]

No problem to print this on A4 as it is a small pattern that fits. Just select Letter size and 100% scale when printing.

[@SusiniBadilla-qz5qt]

Hello Angela, I love your channel but I can’t access your store from where I live now😔 so I can’t get your patterns.

[@NotchesSewing]

Oh no! What country are you from?

[@jennyg.9186]

I look forward to receiving the pattern. How long after paying should I receive the link to download??

[@NotchesSewing]

Hi Jenny, did you purchase from the link in this video description? Only patterns from Notches Sewing are genuine. There are dishonest businesses out there using my videos without my permission as their own ads selling copies of my patterns. Please let me know what date you purchased the pattern or email me through the shop. Cheers!

[@annab8857]

Looks so nice! I've been trying to download the pattern but it keeps failing. Is there a different link?

[@NotchesSewing]

Do you mean it’s not in your inbox after purchase ?

Hi Jenny, the email with link for pattern is sent immediately after payment confirmation. I have sent it to you again. Please check your spam/junk folder as well. Please email me if you still have an issue.
