I’ll admit that I’ve spent a good amount of time (OK, way too much time) looking around for the perfect mobile to hang over my peanut’s crib. I mean after all it’s got to entertain and delight day after day and night after night on a mere second’s notice. So it better be good, right? Well, the early mobiles that contain only red, white, and black weren’t doing it for me, and although I did find some good colored ones, they wouldn’t work for the first six months.
I ended up finding the solution at Spool Sewing’s blog, which features an adorable bird mobile pattern. All you really need is a needle, one spool of thread, a handful of small fabric squares (8 in. x 5 in.), and something soft to stuff them with (cut up old clothes will work fine). I’m starting out with five red, white, and black birds on two branches, and plan to add on more colored ones when my peanut’s vision develops enough to see the full range of colors.
