Fantastic pattern with very detailed instructions. Only took me about 3.5 hours to make my own “Pedro” — and I love how he turned out.
My niece worked on this design with me. It’s a bit challenging for an 11-year-old, but she completed it with great effort.
I was the most excited for this pattern, and have so many ideas for additional customization for additional pigeons. Had a blast making it, the pattern was really easy to follow. I highly recommend!
So precious xD easy to follow even tho I forgot to make the slit for the wings and didnt bother to learn the corners of blanket stitching but that's my fault. The person I gifted it to loved it.
I love this pattern. It was well explained and a lovely slow sew. I'm very happy with my little pigeon.
I bought this to make for my partner for Valentine's day. I made it into a brooch! Ways instructions, well made and has detailed pictures. Clearly the artist knows alot about working with felt. I love Pedro!
Quick, easy download of detailed, illustrated instructions. I was so pleased with my finished project.
This was my first time doing felt embroidery amd the instructions were very clear. Finished it in an afternoon and love his silly little face ❤️
Very cute pattern!! I love playing with felt and beads.

Love the pattern and instructions!!

Il est super mignon. J'ai un peu galéré à faire les pattes et les petits accessoires, mais c'est vraiment trop choupi je l'adore et le PDF est très bien fait !

Cute little character. Easy to follow instructions.
These are SO cute! Everything I have purchased from this seller is great quality with easy to follow instructions. I have two pet pigeons and I’m really excited to make custom Christmas ornaments that look like each bird using this pattern!
I've had fun with this pattern and will most likely purchase another pattern in the future. Thanks and have a wonderful day :)
