Purple "Lightening" Angry Bird

So I have been making the angry birds from space lately.  I just finished making the purple bird.  I think this one was the most fun to make because of the little details. 

As with any of my patterns, do not sell anything made with them unless you have my permission.  Do not pass the pattern off as your own.  Please feel free to link to my blog.  If you create something from one of my patterns, link to my blog (and let me know, I would love to see it!)

First, download the pattern and cut out the pieces:

 

Next, sew on the face pieces and the white belly on the front triangle panel.  Make sure to sew the red eye piece on with an electric blue thread.  I used a satin stitch to make it pop.

This is a back view.  After I sewed on the white belly pieces, I trimmed the purple from the back.  This helps eliminate bulk when putting the pieces together.

Pin the lightening bolt to the head and set the piece aside.

Sew the two beak pieces together and turn right side out.

Sew two triangles down along the side and then pin the sewn pieces to the front pieces as shown in the picture.  Then sew the two sides to the front.

This is how it should look right side out.

Now pin the last triangle to the bottom , matching the longest edge to the front piece.

Sew around but leave an opening to turn right side out.

Turn right side out

Stuff and sew opening closed.

Pin the cape to the bird.

Hand sew it on

Pin and sew on the yellow medallion.

Sew on the beak (stuff it before fully closed) and you are done!
