First Flight |
First of all, I have already given tutorials for creating your own skin toned fabric and for preparing the figures for applique, so I will not duplicate that. If you want to see those tutorials, you can find them here:

1. After turning the edges on your applique piece, cut a piece of batting a little smaller than the turned face. Set the batting aside. |
2. Peel off the freezer paper and trace the face onto the front of the face piece. (Although you see a pen in this photo, use a mechanical pencil and draw lightly!) |
3. Glue the batting to the back of the face. You don't really need a lot of glue, just a little around the edges. |
4. Using a pair of small, pointed scissors, carefully cut the eyes out of the freezer paper face pattern and iron it back on the face, lining up the eyes carefully! |
6. Pencil in the iris and pupil of each eye. You can cut them out of the pattern if that is helpful to you and just trace the outline. |
7. Again using craft acrylic, but in the eye color you want, paint inside the iris area. |
8.Mix a dab of black with your eye color to make a darker shade to give shadow below the upper eyelid. |
9. Do the same with a dab of white paint to make a lighter shade to put above the lower lid. This shading is not absolutely necessary but will give your eye a nicer look. |
10. Dip the tip of the"tail" end, the end with the bristles, in the black paint. |
11. Dab onto the pupil area of each eye. If you want a larger pupil, use a larger brush end. |
12. Make two dots of white beside the pupils - one above and one below. This is important to giving the eye "life". |
13. After the paint is dry, peel off the freezer paper. |
14. Embroider features using 2 strands of floss. I use brown for eyebrows, upper lid, and eyelashes and dark flesh for other features, including lower lid. |
15. Using floss of your eye color, embroider along the edges of the iris. |
18. Brush off most of the color on a scrap of fabric. |
