• Cut two body pieces out and sew right sides together leaving a small gap to turn it near the top where the wing will cover.
• Cut two wing pieces and sew right sides together leaving a small gap to turn on the rounded edge where it will be sewn to the body of the bird.
• Clip to the sewing line around the curves
• Turn both right side out and press.
• Sew on a beak using your wide tight zig zag stitch. Every few stitches reduce the stitch length so it narrows into a point.
• Position the wing and sew on around the curve.
• Sew on two black beads for eyes

How to Make a Pop-Up Pocket

• Cut a small piece of ribbon about the length of the wing. Seal the edges by running it along a flame
• Sew the piece of ribbon under the wing at the ends.
• Make a long tube out of the same fabric as your pants fabric. Turn right side out and press tucking in the ends. You’ll want your strip to extend 3-4 inches out of your pocket. The width of your tube should be about 1/4 inch.
• Next position the pockets where they will go on your pants. Lay the tube down so that most of it will be in the pocket and 3-4 inches extend out of it.
• Sew the bottom edge of the tube down.
• Thread the bird onto the tube and sew the top edge down (unless this needs to be sewn on a part of the pant that is not finished yet).
• Continue putting together your pants according to your pattern.
