Assembly
Make sure your turkey is stuffed firmly weave in the ends. Sew on the feet, wings and beak. I use dressmaking pins to attach the pieces to the body, placing them where I feel they look best. Sew them in place, and trim your ends. See the photo of the back of the turkey to give you an idea on placement for the feathers. With the one large feather in the middle. Sew on eyebrows. Cut a few strands of yarn and weave them thru a loop on the top of your turkey’s head and trim them. Now enjoy your new feathery friend!
