| step 3 - sewing the sides, flaps and bill
|
you want to sew a bunch of the identical parts together. you sew the flaps together along their rear side, and the bill together along the outer edge, and the sides (wool with wool and cotton with cotton) together along the front (the wider) edge. i realized only after i had sewn them that i forgot to take pics showing how to set these pieces up for the first stitch, so i hope the attached crappy drawing explains it well enough. all these stitches will be exactly 1cm in from the outer edge.
also, notice from this photo that when you put pins in the fabric, you want to be mindful of what side you insert them in and which direction you point them. if they're not on the top side and pointing toward the sewing foot, you're gonna have a hard time removing them as you sew.
