I did this as a birthday gift for the grandson of a coworker. He has this exact "Green Cheek Conure" as a pet. Unfortunately the design was so thick, a little pucker was unavoidalbe, despite 2 layers of medium weight cutaway. The picture doesn't do him justice... Right adorable.

I'm sure the pucker will not be noticed. I do better with iron on stabilizer. You might see how that works for you on your next T-shirt.

Still looks real nice. I will guess you did not test stitch the design before you did the shirt, just a tip next time test it will take some thead and a scrap but will save you some headache and you can always use it latter for another project as an applique or for quilting. *2U

This still looks very nice. I have tried using double mesh, and it has worked well. Not as heavy as cutaway, and then does not show through either.

Thank you. I have never used the mesh. I will have to pick some up and try that! :)

Embroidery work of birds is so pretty. I've collected and purchased several, but only done 2. Your project inspires me. Nice job.
