Felt Humming Bird Ornament ~ Hand Sewn

Hummingbird ~ Don't fly away ! These stunning low flying pollinators are a favorite among our summer birds and they strike awe in all of us. Come and make one of these prominent hand stitched birds as a beautiful keepsake to any home.  They make great gifts or treasured year round ornaments.  With a pattern, a little hand sewing, some stitching and stuffing, watch these fellows come to life in your very hands.  We can modify the tail, or any parts of the pattern.  All materials are included for this workshop.   They are truly impressive in size and craftsmanship.

Have your GPS take you to 101 West Rodney French Blvd. in New Bedford.  Once there, please park on the end of the building AWAY from the main entrance.  You'll see an ORANGE door that says Mattress Handup...enter there and go up the stairs.  At the top of the stairs...follow small yellow signs for NBACE.  We're right around the corner behind the mural  !!
