It's been forever since I used this community, but once again I've gotten myself stuck on an idea.
I've been searching the internet and in-store patterns, and nothing is coming up, so hopefully someone on here has much better internet skills than I or even just has an idea they'd be willing to share.

I'm desperatly trying to make a little stuffed bird.
Just a simple little thing.

I tried drawing up my own, but that is NOT working out...
From what I can think of I would need 4 pieces in order to make the bird rounded and a little more 3-D. Possibly 3.
But every time I make a pattern, or cut one, it just won't fit together.

So if anyone has ANY ideas at all, please, please PLEASE let me know.
