Bird post cards - part three


Time to start assembling a bird!



I traced each piece of the pattern onto the sticky side of some lightweight fusible interfacing.  The arrows indicate the sides of the pieces that need a fabric allowance left in order to slide them under other pieces.  If I had it to do over again, I would make the two black parts of the head into a single piece and just lay the white part over top of them.  I moved a little too fast and just didn't think of it in time.


Once the pieces were all ironed in place, I cut them out and tried assembling them over top of the pattern.  Stitching down comes next, which is definitely my favorite part!

Thanks guys! I just love the chickadees that visit our feeder so much...they're such an inspiration :-)
I love the fabrics you chose, Cyndi.

Thanks for the tip about figuring out and indicating where you need allowance for overlap. Very clever.
