Sew the beak onto the head and add eyes to either side (between Rnd7 and Rnd8)

Sew the neckline onto the top of the body with the flatter side of the body facing the front.

Sew wings either side of the body. Sew on legs to the front of the flamingo but not directly under so that it’s sitting. Attach toes to the end of the leg and sew up the toes close together to give it a webbed-foot look. Sew on the tail feathers onto the back of the flamingo.
