Download and print the templates. For the main body, cut two pieces from plain white fabric and two beaks from yellow fabric. Pin the beaks in place, right side up onto the beak section of the white body, also right side up. Use yellow thread to stitch the two inner sides of each beak.

Iron on the reverse, then cut away the excess white fabric from underneath the beak. Cut a 0.5mm snip into the point of the ‘V’. With the first seagull piece placed wrong side up, fold the sides of the ‘V’ in by 5mm, press with an iron to crease then sew the seam. Repeat this with the second seagull piece.

Pin both seagulls right sides together. Stitch a 5mm seam from point A to B catching a hanging loop, C round to D catching the second loop, then from E to F. Do not sew anything between points F and A or D and E, leave open. To attach the breast, use the template to cut a breast piece from white fabric. Lay the bird in front, then fold and pin the unstitched top layer of fabric between points D and E up out of the way.

Lay the breast insert in place so that the bottom edge of it matches the edge of the body, then pin in place and sew a 5mm seam from point to point. Unpin, turn the bird over and repeat, pinning the now stitched half of the breast out of the way while sewing the remaining edge from point to point.
