Just hatched.

I finally decided what to make Ellie for Easter.  Although not on my short list, I used this tutorial and spent yesterday afternoon whipping up these cute little friends.



Unfortunately, I think these little guys were supposed to be bigger and I should have sized up the pattern because they were mega tiny to sew.  They're made using natural linen and vintage cottons, and the little pouches include a red felt heart, which I might perhaps swap for a mini Easter egg.  I hope she likes it because you never can tell these days (although anything small, soft and with a beak and hair is usually a winner).

Have you made anything for your Easter Celebrations?  Do show us and post your link at Kirsty's, we'd love a peek!

  1. Awww, they are darling, I love the linen and floral combination. OK, I love the linen and ANYTHING combination.

    You're brave sewing for your child. I don't bother, I think the indifference or outright ingratitude would kill me.
