Parrot Costume 3

My deadline has been bumped up to THIS Friday (he needs to dress up for the class party), so I'm making extra effort to actually work on it, it helped that I had to stay up doing laundry anyways. The back is almost done, the orange and red pieces need to be sewn but they are pinned darn it. Debating on doing the front/inside of the wings and fixing some bald patches in the yellow (the red is a very very stretchy fabric and lets tell the truth, I eyeballed instead of measuring most of the pieces). Interesting problem with the red: I used 3 ponchos that I bought same store, same brand, same day, and they looked the same in the store but they are very different shades when I lay them on top of each other. You can see at the base of the neck, the hood is red and the piece on top is much more orange.
