Longing for Spring Felt Robin Ornament

Feb 11, 2012 | Bird Patterns, Felt Patterns, Perching Bird Patterns

It’s going to be some time before Robins make an appearance here. Spring is a ways off – according to the calendar and to Mother Nature. A snowstorm has everything cancelled in our little corner of Maine today, so I whiled away the afternoon making this felt robin ornament. A little wishful thinking on my part!

You can download the pattern here. If you make the little Robin, share your picture here in a comment!

Note: It’s almost 70 miles to a craft or fabric store to purchase felt from where I live. Since running out to buy felt wasn’t an option, I poked around the Internet and found beautiful wool felt at Estsy Shoppe 3130. I ordered 20 new colors you won’t find in stores (at least up here). Until my package arrived in the mail I didn’t realize that felt could be so thick and rich and beautiful. Check it out of you need felt for any of these patterns!

Hi, I’ve been admiring your birds! What stitch do you use on them??
Susan on February 13, 2012 at 7:45 am

I’m not much of an embroiderer. To hold the front and back together I use a blanket stitch. Other places it’s mostly a running stitch. Or something I make up as I go along!

You’re bird patterns are simply amazing. I followed a link from Craft Gossip. I poked around and found the brilliant blue jay and then fell in love with the owls. Thanks so much for your labor of love. I can’t decide which to make first. Mary

I am so thrilled to find the owl pattern especially and the other birds are great too. We have a few Australian birds here that I will adapt to.
Thanks again Mary.

I just found your site from Pinterest..I love these birds!..I got a couple of patterns, but the Robin & Bluebird says there is a “Drawing Error” & they other said it couldn’t be found. Do you know why this is happening??

Thank you SO much!

Karen, I just tried opening and downloading them both with no trouble. I’m not sure why you’re having difficulty. If you havne’t already try right clicking on the link and select “save target as” and save to your computer before trying to open the file.

Thank you so much for the bird patterns, I have not made any yet, but want to make felt flags to hang in my bay window. I will send pictures when I am done.
The patterns look easy to follow!

Love your patterns…I’ve been making the little felt birds with wire legs, and decided they needed a few new friends! Thank you for making it so easy to print and for sharing your work with others!

Thanks so much for posting these felt patterns. I plan to make some for a Christmas tree for our local Rotary Club annual festival of trees.
Barbara on February 14, 2014 at 7:28 am

OK, so now I have printed the robin, bluebird, snowy owl, and winter wren. This is not good. I really have other things to do. lol.

Thanks again sharing your beautiful patterns

Thanks so much for these patterns. We are learning about birds in my kindergarten class. Each week the children discover a new felt bird which we hang up on our bird mobile. It will be a robin this week – hope in the midst of a cold winter!
