So anyone making these birds who wants to put beaks on
I suggest you do it as you go because
Hand embroidering Beaks and eyes on 5 to 10 of them at a time is much easier than letting them pile up for half a year 
And having to do all 60 at once.
Beaks are buttonhole stitch, eyes are cast on in variegated vidani thread so there is a bit of variation to them
The eyes and beaks add such life to those birds, so it's worth it! You just need a good show to binge watch, lol!
ReplyDeleteWhen I did my birds, I made itty bitty prairie points and sewed them into the seam (raw edge in) and then just tacked them down by machine.

ReplyDeleteGreat tip, must be daunting to stitch those teeny tiny eyes and beaks all together. Looking forward to seeing your flock of gorgeous birds together.
