Angry Birds

Alright, once again and I am going to shamelessly admit that I am copying an idea that my sisterfirst showed me. But, how could I not? These are DARLING! My husband and kids (okay- and me too) love Angry Birds and with my husband's birthday coming up, I had to make up some of these for some real-life angry bird battles.
(This pig is my favorite) :)
They took me WAY longer than they probably should have but I wanted to make sure they would hold up to the inevitable abuse they would get. The eyes on the pigs needs to reinforced already, despite my best efforts, but I am really happy with how everything turned out. I am not a super experienced sewer and this was my first time using a pattern so if I can do it, so can you.
I made them all out of fleece and they are so soft and fuzzy that my little 11 month old LOVES snuggling them. For the original idea and patterns, click HERE. These patterns are so great! They look just like the real birds. A-MAZ-ING.
The birds needed a few eggs and a couple golden eggs, so I used THIS fabric egg pattern that I came across.
Also, I had to have something to keep them in, so I made up this drawstring bag.
