The penguin is started...

I decided to start on the penguin even though I didn't finish the brown wren just yet.  I thought it would be easier because it is a little larger.  To some extent it is true:  the larger size meant that the head gusset was a little easier to put in.  But, there were some areas that I had to stop and figure out before I could continue.  The directions at one point boil down to:  finish sewing the outer side of the penguin.  This sounds simple enough.  Until I was left trying to figure out how to sew the legs and tail and leave a whole for turning--all without sewing anything shut that shouldn't be.  That part actually did turn out well.  The problem I ran into, though, was that somehow I managed to get some raw edges at the top of the white showing through once I'd turned it so that the right sides were outside.  I'm not quite sure how that happened.  However, I'm quite sure that somehow it will involve ripping a seam out...
