Cut a 43cm square piece of pale pink bird fabric followed by a 6cm x 44cm piece of green spotty fabric. Fold a long raw edge of the green fabric under by 1cm and iron the crease. Pin it across the pink fabric, 8cm up from the bottom and stitch in place. Iron on the reverse.
Make a pleat pocket by cutting a 15cm x 55cm piece of cream bird fabric and a 3.5cm x 55cm piece of red spot for the trim. Fold the red material in half along the length, press then open it up and fold each raw edge into the middle. Iron again to create binding. Stitch this across the top edge of the cream bird fabric and iron again.
Divide the long piece into three and mark the two points with pins, fold the fabric by 1cm at either side to meet the pin. Iron to make firm creases. Stitch down each folded crease 2mm from the edge to help the pockets keep their shape.
Take a 9cm x 11cm piece of plain cream fabric and back it with interfacing then stitch to the middle pocket front. Use the template provided to cut a bird from turquoise fabric, stitch around
