I was looking around online for a Thanksgiving turkey project when I stumbled upon this free felt turkey sewing pattern. The sewing pattern and instructions are available at Sewing.org. This was a quick, easy, and fun project that is perfect for Thanksgiving. I followed the pattern and instructions, but I didn't use the same colors of felt or the same size buttons that the pattern calls for. I also used ribbon instead of fabric for the turkeys bowtie, and I really like the ribbon. I found it during one of my many trips to Wal-Mart. I purchased the felt from the local fabric store, and I originally intended to use the felt for a quiet book for my daughter, but I haven't gotten around to that yet... Anyhoo, I added my grand gobbler to this year's Thanksgiving wreath.
I used the following materials for this project:
- felt (2 orange, 2 goldenrod, 1 brown, 1 teal, 1 red)
- embroidery floss (brown and orange)
- sewing needles
- buttons (seven 3/4 inch buttons and three 1/2 inch buttons)
- fiberfill
- glue gun
- ribbon/strip of fabric
- scissors
- pins
- 2 black beads for eyes
- pattern & instructions from Sewing.org
