I keep thinking that if he learns to sit on my shoulder while I work, he’ll enjoy the out-of-cage time and I will be a happier person because he won’t be squawking about wanting the out-of-cage time.

Because the craft spirits know — it’s really tough to work when there’s squawking in the background.

But he won’t stay on my shoulder… and this really isn’t an improvement over the squawking.

As promised in my earlier Matchbook Sewing Kit post, here’s the free pattern and tutorial for making your own handy-dandy sewing kit.

I really wanted to thought I should make a tutorial for this sewing kit, but in all honesty, I’m entirely too lazy busy cranky to take all the photos and write all the steps.

Actually, I’m not all that cranky right now — but if I took all the photos and wrote all the steps, I’d be very very cranky.  Which, according to Mr. Jivvy,  is something you don’t want to see.

So I’m doing you a kindness by not providing the tutorial.

It’s a selfless act, really.

However, there’s no crankiness involved in providing the free pattern… and I’m quite certain that with all the pictures in the original post, you won’t even need a tutorial.

As promised (a long, long time ago), here’s the free pattern (yes, you need all three PDF files).
