Hello Koleta, what a beautiful birthstone to have! Real turquoise is absolutely stunning. I am so happy to hear that you love the color too. And I can understand not wanting to make that journey! Wishing you Happy Holidays and all good things for the year ahead!

I’d love to see what you make!

Thank you for clarifying that there is one wing. Might be that I’ll play around w/ doing 1 of each. 🙂

Hi Nancy, thank you for your kind words! To answer your question: the swan has a wing sewn on the front only. The pieces combine to be both wings. The “padded” part of the wing is the foreground wing, and the flatter part of the wing “back,” is, in my mind, the swan’s second wing in the background just peaking out below. I hope this makes sense 🙂 In my protype testing, it sat more nicely against the tree this way and was easier to sew than having wings on both sides. Of course, if you preferred, you could cut out an extra pair of wing pieces, mirror and repeat the process, and sew that second set onto the back. You could also alter the pattern and snip away at the bottom piece if you’d want a wing on either side. There is room to make this pattern your own. But as the pattern is now, it fits on one 8.5 x 11″ sheet of paper, which should usually be around one sheet of felt if you’re buying it that way. I hope this helps!

The one reason I did individual was partly space and ease of working. If you can manage a longer length, I can’t see it being a problem to do it that way!

I think have figured it out: I looked at the back end, and it looks like you signed up through the general newsletter form – not the specific one for this pattern. No worries! I am going to email it to you right now so check your inbox in five minutes 🙂
