This cute hen will make sure your eggs do not get cold - and as a star on every blackboard you'll be competing for the Easter Bunny.
That's what you need for the egg hen :
- Computer, printer and paper
- Cotton fabric in red
- Cotton fabric in beige with dots
- Feathers (craft shop)
- 2 wooden beads in brown
- scissors
- French chalk
- pins
- Sewing machine and matching yarn
Here you will find the template:
And that's how easy it is:
1. Print template and cut it out.
2. Double-lay both fabrics and attach sewing patterns to each. Transfer contours with a tailor's chalk and cut out with approx. 1 cm seam allowance.
3. Pin the "chicken" half red and beige fabric right-to-right and stitch edges with approx. 0.5 cm seam allowance. Leave an opening at the bottom for turning.
4. Turn both parts together, tacking beige sides together.
Staple the beak, comb and feathers between the headboard and the buttock, round the hen, except for an upper opening of approx. 12 cm in length, stitch and turn.
6. Sew wooden beads onto the egg hen as eyes.
