Ruby's little boyfriend, Logan, celebrated his first birthday over the weekend and his very talented mama threw him a penguin-themed party (you can see all the cute penguin-party details HERE on Holly's blog).
I don't have a detailed step by step for you, but it is pretty simple to figure out. Hand sew the eyes, beak, and belly to the front body piece. Assemble the wings and feet - two pieces of felt for each appendage, right side facing out, and stitch around the edges to secure (I used a blanket stitch).
Pin the wings and feet to the front body piece as diagrammed below.
Happy birthday, sweet Logan! We love you.

Oh Jill, I love his round grey tummy. It's my favorite part of him, even though the stripes ARE absolutely swoonworthy. He is adorable! Eeeeeeeeeee!

This jolly bird is so cute! I know an adult who'd swoon for this jailbird
Hi Jill-I don't think I've ever commented before but I love your blog! I'm pretty sure I saw you at the Santa Barbara Zoo today by the giraffe exhibit! We are from Montana and are visitiing family right now. I was too shy to say anything. Haha! Very cute penguin by the way!
Adorable!
Sara B. - how funny! I wish you would have said hi (and that I would have done my hair today). :) That was very likely me, since we were at the zoo today.
I hope you enjoy your visit to Santa Barbara!
Such a gorgeous penguin! I can't wait to get my sewing machine out once my craft supplies arrive.

Oh this is so cute Jill! And I know, striped fabric makes any craft just a little bit cuter :)
Oh, that is so cute!
My six year old is asking me to teach him sewing - so I promised him some "personal sewing time" during the summer holiday, and have been looking around for not too difficult yet nice projects. This will definitely go on the list.
And yeah, the stripes add a whole sophisticated look!

I just saw this! Last week I also made a penguin mama and baby (attached by velcro) out of purple polk a dot fabric. If I saw this first, I wouldn't have had to make my own pattern. I need to take a picture of it and blog it this week. It's neat to see your ideas!
I am featuring this today at seemesew.blogspot.com!
The penguin looks so cute and see`s too easy, thanks a lot.
So so cute! :)

Just found this via pinterest, and I'm smitten. Thanks for the template - I just printed it up and I'm ready to roll. Or sew. Or whatever.
(because there's nothing I need more than to start another project)
Thanks for the template. Am going to give it a whirl with my lil' fairies...
hi Jill...I'm from Indonesia. Thank you for the template, really love it. I made it for my friend who really loves pinguin. And she likes it yeaay!
It's a bit diferrent from yours with a little modification here and there :)
