This is my doodle red bird I drew back in March I was not happy with. Noah (Carolyn used in in lower corner of her wall hanging. I have been busy with house projects, yard projects and as I get a little time been testing myself with new stitches, lengths of etc. I am pleased with this little guy now mostly just still not sure about the tail. He is now is around 4.5 by 6.12. There is stitches then it did long like satin on top of stitches on tail and that I think looks good but not good for a shirt. What do you think?

He looks like the red cardinal that flew right into my window the other day. When I checked on him he was somewhat stunned and very upset. Within a few minutes he left. Cardinals sure are very territorial birds.
Your little guy is cute, cute, cute.

I like the design, but the tail does make a difference - pretty dense for a T-shirt. Otherwise, a cute design.

I like your design and the lightness of the body and wings. A cute bird! Maybe you could lower the density of the tail to make it more suitable for knits / T-shirts.

Thank you, that is what I am trying to learn is the different sizes of stitches and what kinds get along with different fabrics. The density thing especially. I also battle size from paper scan or drawing in Embird the sizing. I know the 1 view is it, but as I work on screen it is like my husband saying go pick out window when we were building our first home and I come home with a picture window big enough to make a wall.

I think the little guy is adorable and thought so at the time I saw noah's usage of it. It's really cute for a T shirt, as others have said. :)

He is a cutie Mary but I agree with you about his tail feathers. Perhaps a different stitch would make it work instead of the satin stitch maybe a weave fill might work. ~hugs~

This tail is slick for wall hanger but will change for the t shirt.

He is adorable as he is, but when I think of a rooster, I picture long curly tail feathers. ( I'm presently doing blocks; maybe that's why)....could you put a flip in his tail? Or split in 2 parts? Still--very cute!

Thank you, he is a red bird and cartoon of course was not meant to be a rooster. But could be as he does look like he has a comb with his cocky feather top. So there is room for another tail or two.
