Finishing

Sew the wings on (I like to put the top of the wing about 1/3rd of the way down. I don’t measure though. I just put them where I feel they look best.)

Add 2 french knots in black for “eyes” on the top of the penguin in the white.

Add a triangle in orange for the “nose” on the head of the penguin in the white, below the eyes.
