How do you mean turn resulting number? Coinflip is Heads or Tails only right?
With 11 flips you have nice 11 bit number, which you can then convert from binary to decimal representation and then use word on the corresponding line - https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt

Eg you can think about head as 1, tail as 0.

For example:
Flips:            H T H H H T H H T H T
Binary:         1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0
Decimal:       1498 -> Increment by one (because lines are numbered from 1, not from 0) -> 1499
BIP-39 word: robust - https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt#L1499
