A bird in the hand is better than mess in the bag.

Instead of throwing away all the off-cuts from Wren bags I have used them to make these lovely little bird pouches (above).

They are just the right size to hold all your bare essentials at 5.5″ x 3.5″ (excluding tail height). Your cellphone, bank cards, money or cosmetics can fit in. What more do you want when you are going out and do not want to tote around a giant purse. If you have small enough hands you can slip it on your wrist and not have to worry about forgetting it behind. OR you can clip the tail onto or into your bag (Wren bags come with a perfect clip inside them) making it easy to find.

Each bird is made with great care to detail. Each bird pouch is lined, has a wing and even has an embroidered eye. They are adorable.
If you would like a bird pouch, hurry over to my etsy store quickly.
The early worm gets the bird in this case!

These are beautiful – well done! I’m probably going to dither too long about which one I want, and they’ll all be gone, but it’s so hard to choose…

Thank you everybody for your compliments. They were so finicky to make that I almost gave up on the project several times. I am glad I persevered.

So all my little birdies have now left the nest. There is a small possibility there might be a new clutch of eggs hatching in spring/summer…. If you are really desperate for one you can always request a custom bird and I can see what can be done.

what a great idea. using scraps and getting such a cool product out of it. still i wish there was a story like in slovenia wrens are a sacred bird have a special magical quality to the people. they used to sew feathers to their satchels for protection and blah blah ..
