This delightful ceramic bird, complete with its own hand-felted wool pin cushion, is a lovely companion for all your sewing, quilting, and embroidery projects, and a beautiful piece of pottery in its own right.
Every bird is shaped and glazed by hand in the Habulous Dartmoor studio, using a flecked stoneware clay that gives each piece its own natural speckle and texture. The pin cushion is made from 100% natural wool, hand-felted and hand-dyed in the studio using natural dyes to match the bird it sits in. This meticulous handmade process means that small variations in shape, size, and colour are part of what makes your bird truly one of a kind.
Designed to be both beautiful and practical, the hand-felted cushion is perfect for keeping your pins safely gathered and within easy reach. Whether it's perched beside your sewing machine, sitting on your craft table, or simply keeping watch from a shelf, this little bird is as lovely to look at as it is useful to have close at hand.
It makes a thoughtful handmade gift for the sewists, quilters, and craft-lovers in your life – ideal for a birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, or simply to show you're thinking of them.
Please note: As each piece is truly handmade, shapes may vary slightly and all measurements are approximate. The hand-felted pin cushions are dyed in small batches, so you may notice gentle variations in colour, and tones may soften and shift slightly over time.
Approximate Dimensions:
- Large Bird: W5.5cm x H5.5cm x L8cm, Pin Cushion Diameter: 5cm
- Small Bird: W4cm x H3.7cm x L5.7cm, Pin Cushion Diameter: 3cm
FAQ: Q: Can I buy pins with my bird? A: Yes - pins are available as an optional add-on: Prym Pearl Headed Pins, Pack of 40 (40mm). If purchased, they arrive on a disc, ready to push straight into your pin cushion.
Q: Will my bird look exactly like the one in the photos? A: As each bird is handmade and hand-glazed, and every pin cushion is individually felted and hand-dyed, yours will have its own unique character - slight variations in colour, shape and size are part of what makes it one of a kind.
Q: Is the pin cushion removable? A: The pin cushion part of the bird's design, so it isn't intended to be removed.
Q: What occasions is this bird good for gifting? A: It's a lovely gift for birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, or as a thank you or 'thinking of you' gesture - especially for the sewists, quilters and craft-lovers in your life who'll appreciate both its charm and its usefulness.
Q: Can it hold needles as well as pins? A: Yes - while the bird is designed as a pin cushion and can be purchased with pins, needles will also go into the felt happily, so it's just as handy for storing your needles alongside your pins.
