Sew Easter chick and bunny decorations
These will brighten up your Easter table year after year
Enlarge templates to required size and cut out from oddments of fabric. Trace chick wings on to Bondaweb, iron on to reverse of fabric and cut out. Iron on to chick pieces and zigzag stitch in place. Stitch on tiny black beads for the eyes and tack a string loop to right side of top of chick. Instead of beads, you could work French knots in black thread for eyes.
With right sides facing, stitch two chick pieces together around outer edge, taking 1cm seam allowances and leaving gap for turning through. Trim seams, turn right-side out and stuff with polyester toy filling. Sew up gap.
Repeat for bunny, finishing with a small ribbon bow around its neck.
