Not Dove tails! I don't do carpentry!
I wanted to make a Christmas Dove - symbol of peace and all that!
Anyway I drew a shape, cut it out in a Christmas print and stitched it all together. It worked surprisingly well I thought....
The wings are fused onto felt which I have pinked and stitched on using a couple of old buttons, my longest needle, my thimble and a bit of grippy stuff to pull that needle through all that stuffing and back through going the other way.
A bit of a return to my stitching roots really as when I started sewing I was making soft toys.
