"Creative Xmas Angel Pin/Tree Ornament" Online Class copyright Di McDonald 2001 Lesson 2
e: Wings
1:Sew all around the edges of the WINGS, leaving a gap at the OPENING.
2:Cut around the wings, leaving a seam or edge around the outside of the stitching.
3:Peel the Freezer Paper pattern piece off the fabric so you can use it again then
4: All the inward facing curves need to be carefully snipped up to the stitching, including between the two wings.
5:Turn the wings carefully using your haemostats
6:Stuff them lightly through the opening.I don't use too much stuffing for this as I like to just add a little body to them and that is all..however if you are going to embellish them or use transparent  fabric you may wish not to stuff them at all. That is Ok.
7:Hand sew the opening closed as neatly as possible.
f: The Head
1; Sew all around the edges of the HEAD, leaving an opening at the top of the Head as shown on the pattern
2: Cut around the Head, leaving a seam or edge around the outside of the stitching.
3: Peel the Freezer Paper pattern pieces off  the fabric so you can use it again.
4:Turn the Head using some haemostats as shown in the pictures.
5:Push the haemostats inside and all around the  head to even out all the seams now.
6:Stuff using the warmth of your fingers to mould the head as you go. ( I like a flatter shaped head for pins)
7:Hand sew the opening neatly closed.
