Thank you wonderful tutorial. I just subscribe to your channel . Looking forward to more tutorials
Awesome, thank you! I am so happy that you are enjoying them.
I loved this tutorial as I plan to make a lot of birds.
Thank you! I just added a new bird video tutorial. I wanted to try making a tiny bird. Maybe it will be helpful for you?
Thank you so much for creating this tutorial! It very appreciated and a great video!
You are so welcome! I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
What a beautifully clear instructional video. Thank you so much. This is a winner! The free template is a bonus too ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for the encouragement. ❤️
Great instructions and talking about using the felt around the body- also instructions about the feet and copper wire legs and back threw the body! Very clear and useful to learn this chick!
I'm so glad you found it helpful! And I appreciate your feedback. It helps me decide what to include as I'm making more animals! Thank you so much!
❤❤❤
Thank you!
So beautiful 🐥💞
Thank you! It was so much fun to make. :)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
So cute. Thank you for the tutorial
You’re welcome 😊 It's a pleasure to make and share animals here.
I love your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.! I am learning so much and excited to try making your creations! Will you have a tutorial in the future making cats and dogs?
Thank you so much! I have a list of animals I want to make that I'm working from. I don't have a domestic cat or dog on it. But it does include an African Wild Dog and a Cheetah. The Cheetah is from a tutorial that I purchased. Right now, I'm most interested in making wild animals and livestock like sheep, pigs, etc. But who knows? Maybe I'll change my mind in the future.
Great tutorial!
Thank you! I just love making chicks. They are full of life!
just wonderful. thanks for sharing.🐣🐤🐥
You are welcome! I love making birds. :)
😍
I have just subscribed to your TH-cam channel as this tutorial seem very good, you have made one mistake which every felting template seems to make, you don’t show the design from the back or front so that you show the width of the subject I.e. looking directly at the butt with the feet pointing away from you or directly at the front with the feet pointed towards you this would show how wide the design is, although you do show a scale on your template which most other templates do not show which is great.
Thank you for subscribing and for your suggestion. I think that's a great idea. I tend to draw my pattern before I make the needle felted animal. I'm thinking that maybe I can draw different views after the needle felted version is done? I will take your suggestion to heart and try to figure out the best way to make it happen. Thank you again. I really appreciate that you brought this up so I can make my patterns more useful!
Am I too late for the pdf download link? I’ve just discovered your channel - you make everything look so easy but I’m sure they’re not! I will enjoy trying these. Thank you
Not too late at all. Thank you for asking! Here's the link: theneedlefelter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Chick-Pattern-The-Needle-Felter.pdf
I put the links in the video description but I forget to mention that in the videos sometimes! I'm so sorry. I'm going to start adding them to a pinned comment going forward to make it easier to find them.
The PDFs are also on my blog so they shouldn't go away, unless the website is down for maintenance or something. Hopefully, that doesn't happen too often. I'm excited you want to make a chick!
Thank you very much! I look forward to following you
Is the template still available?
It is! Here's the link to the pdf file on my website: theneedlefelter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Chick-Pattern-The-Needle-Felter.pdf and to the blog post for this if you want written directions: theneedlefelter.com/yellow-chick-video-tutorial-with-free-pdf-pattern/
