Hello good people of Craftster!

I am a novice when it comes to sewing, so I am humbly requesting your help. I would like to sew these hair clips. For the most part, the pattern is pretty straight forward, but I can't figure out how they make the swirl in the middle, to give it more of a 3-D effect.

I realize that it is embroidery of some sort, but how is it done? Is the swirl created after the wing has been stuffed and sewn together? If anybody could offer any insight on this (or a pattern), I'd be very grateful. Thank you for reading. (:

Compared to all the great bags I've seen so far, my little drawstring bag seems very simple! Haha But I'm still so proud of it! Below, my very first ever bag is featured! It's also only the second thing I've ever sewn in my life! (I just learned how to thread my sewing machine. xD)

I'm sorry for the awful picture quality. It's rather dark here, and I had poor lighting. The bag is a beautiful red and the inside is yellow satin. This bag was made as a Christmas gift for my friend who's a total Gryffindork! I know it's early for Christmas, but I'm getting a head-start. There's much crafting to be done!

Also, you can't tell by the pictures, but the bag has a really pretty, subtle print on it; truly fit for anybody in the Gryffindor house!
