Step 5: Make Your Flying Geese
To make your flying geese, you will need to download the pattern that is included with the handouts. There is a paper pattern you can use to create one flying geese unit. You will need to make one for each color.
Here is the page that you are looking for in your handout PDF.
If you have your own way of making flying geese, you will make a 2×4 inch flying geese finished size. Pre-sewing it will measure 2 1/2 x 4 1/2.
Step 6: Start Sewing Your Rows Together
This handout is also included in your download!
