Easy
- Run on the tying thread behind the bead and remove the tag end.
- Tie in the body by the braid at the end and trim off the waste.
- Form a small ball of dubbing at the base of the body, this will splay out the legs.
- Strip the fluff from the base of a partridge feather, push the tips of your scissors around the feather stem and snip off the tip leaving a V shape. Tie in with the feather barbs on either side of the dubbing ball.
- Dub up to the bead, smear the thread with varnish, whip finish and cut the thread.
