Instructions

  1. Small cimg4808 1323667124

    get your fabric prepped. I always iron my fabric before I start it makes for a better cut.

  2. Small cimg4809 1323667202

    next cut out shape of bird. I though of it like a bean shape but rather than being all the way round it had a point at one end for the tail.

  3. Small cimg4815 1323667332

    Now take out your second fabric. the one that you will be doing the beak and wings. Now cut out a square for the beak. fold that square in half and hand sew it close so it makes a triangle.

  4. Small cimg4816 1323667368

    From the same fabric cut out two little wings.

  5. Small cimg4812 1323667654

    now figure out where you want your button eyes on your little birdy, and sew them on both pieces.

    now sew the wings on both sides

  7. Small cimg4827 1323667851

    now pin right sides together, but while your ding this also pin the beak facing in wards so it will be sewn into the seam.

    start sewing, and remember to leave a small opening to pull threw.

  9. Small cimg4833 1323667957

    now time to pull threw. I just stick my fingers in and just start pulling gently.

  10. Small cimg4835 1323668113

    If every thing pulled threw right and looks fine you can begin stuffing. Though make sure ever thing is staying all well.
