FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Correct. The raw edges of the fabric remain on the outside, there is no requirement to turn the bird shapes inside-out after sewing. This rawness is part of the design brief for the set and in fact makes the bird even easier to create! 

We would prefer you keep the birds predominantly black in colour and embellish with fabric elements only. So, no feathers, eyeballs or bedazzling. We are looking for the flock of 1001 black birds to have some uniformity. Additional individuality will come from the story you share of the meaning behind its creation.  

Yes. You are welcome to make as many as you like. After all, we need 1001 of these made for the set. Please register them separately.
