Choose the fabrics you want to use for your turkey and apply heat n bond to the fabric following the directions on the package. Next, cut out the template pieces and trace each piece onto the back of the fabric (the paper from the heat n bond is still attached!)!
Note: For the Ribbon Turkey I used shapes A and B then added ribbon to fill in the empty spaces.
For the Regular Turkey I used shapes A, B and C.
For the Ribbon Turkey:
Cut 4 strips of ribbon about 6 inches long.
Fold in half like this making sure the top sides of the ribbon are layered on top of each other pointing up!
And stitch…
Next you should have a nice pile of ribbons, like this:
Gather all of the pieces that you cut out an arrange them to make sure you like your turkey!
Then stitch around.
Pin the ribbon pieces on to fill in the gaps, like this:
And stitch them down!
Once everything is stitched in place, lay the body of the turkey on top of the feathers and iron on following the directions on the package.
Stitch around the body of the Turkey.
For the Regular Turkey:
Lay pieces A, B, and C out.
(A is the center, then B is on either side, then C is at the bottom)
Iron on following the directions on the package…
Add the body and stitch around it too!
Then iron on the eyes and beak…
stitch them down and….
You have the perfect outfit for your littles to wear on Thanksgiving!
