Spring Chick Tutorial

With Easter and Spring rolling around, this little Spring Chick is just in time!

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!

One of my favorite parts of Spring are the chicks.  A few years back we picked up a few chicks….and I loved hearing thier chirp chirps and watch them grow.  They are so sweet and are a hoot to watch!

Since we haved moved, we have no chicks.  No big chickens….but for now I can have little chicks hanging out.  They don’t chirp, but are just as cute!

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 Spring Chick:

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
7) Finish sewing the opening closed
8) Set aside for later

Wing Instructions:
1) Layer batting in between the wing fabric {right sides facing out}
2) Cut out with pinking shears, using template
3) Sew all the way around the wing
4) Repeat with other wing

Finish Instructions:
1) Place a wing on either side of the body of the chick
2) Place a button at the top of the wing and sew in place.
* Sew through the button, wing, body, wing, button and then repeat this until the buttons are secure
3) Sew buttons for eyes

Great for beginner sewers…or advanced!   Sew up a bunch and throw in a bowl for decoration, hang from your door wreath, or give to neighbors as a quick Springtime surprise.
