Easy Spring Chick Sewing Pattern – A Cute Scrap-Busting Project

Spring always makes me want to sew something small and cheerful.

Not a full quilt. Not a big commitment. Just something quick that uses up a few scraps and brings a little bit of that “fresh start” feeling into the sewing room.

This little spring chick does exactly that.

It’s simple, beginner-friendly, and one of those projects that comes together faster than you expect. You don’t need much fabric, you don’t need anything fancy, and you probably already have everything sitting in your stash.

If you’ve been wanting a quick win at your sewing machine, this is it.

Use your grandma’s hankies, embroidered pillow cases, vintage fabric for a classic look.

The pattern is super simple and will take you less than one hour to sew it up!

Materials Needed:

• Download chick templates –
• fabric scraps or vintage fabric of your choice
• ribbon
• felt
• polyfil stuffing
• batting
• button-eyes, wings
• pinking shears

Instructions for the Stuffed Spring Chick Plushie:

Body Instructions:
1) Cut out with pinking shears, front and back of body using templates
2) Lay the body right sides facing out
3) Fold the triangle for the beak in half twice- matching two corners when you fold and tuck in between the layers.
4) Cut 3 ribbons 1/4″ X 2″ and tuck in between the layers at the top of head
5) Sew all the way around -leaving a 2″ opening along the bottom for stuffing
6) Stuff firmly with poly fil stuffing
