    1. Choose the relevant shapes from the template on page 80 and copy them onto fusible webbing. Iron the birdhouse onto striped pink and white fabric; the roof, bottom section and opening onto dark pink; the leaves onto patterned green; the bird onto cream; and the wing and tail onto spotty pink.

    2. Iron an 18cm x 23cm piece of lightweight interfacing to the inside front of a vest, 3cm down from the neckline.
