OK, when you have your pattern cut out then we're going to just place it on top of the
felt and cut around your pattern. Now you can sew this by hand. I simply do a top stitch
all the way around, or you can sew it by machine also making a top stitch all the way around
and close to the edge. OK, next we're going to cut out the beak and we're going to use
some orange felt for the beak and you want to cut a strip about a half inch wide like
this and fold it in half, and then round off the top like this. OK, so I have a strip of
orange felt about a half in wide and I fold it in half and rounded the top and now I'm
going to fold it again, and that's the beak, and we're going to place that right where
the beak should be up in the head between the two pieces of yellow felt like this. And
then just secure that with a pin and when you sew your mitt together you're going to
sew all the way around with just about an eighth of an inch seam allowance all the way
around, top stitching an eighth of an inch around, and you will catch in the beak as
you come around.
