Cut the thread off, leaving a long tail for sewing. You need to roll up the detail, forming a flower.
Gathering
You need to sew wings only from above, from one point to another one. One wings is in place of colour’s change.
Sew the tail between 19th and 20th rounds.
And add a little fiberfill to the neb. Sew the neb between 8th and 11th rounds. Look at the wings to sew the neb on the center.
Embroider the eyes on the 9th round. Than embroider the cheeks. Than you’ll add feathers: it means you need to embroider check marks in chessboard
order on the bird’s belly.
Twist the detail, forming a flower. Using a needle you take the thread down to the base of the flower. Sew through a few times in different direction. Than fasten the thread off, don’t cutting.
Sew leaves on the bottom of the flower, fasten them off and cut the thread off. I sewed 2 leaves.
Sew the flower to the bird’s head. I sewed the flower a little sideways.
