This is the third in a series of Easter baskets I have posted. A lot of the techniques I used in this basket I used in the horse and bunny baskets.

Shared in the spirit of kindness. Please pay it forward by sharing your own special talents with someone.

Chick Basket instructions
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177272[/ATTACH]

Applique the eyes. There is an alternate face included in the pattern.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177273[/ATTACH]

Stitch around beak, trim, sew in place
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177274[/ATTACH]

Pleat the topknot and stitch across the bottom to hold in pleats
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177277[/ATTACH]

Attach topknot to top of head
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177279[/ATTACH]

Put head on another piece of felt and starting at one side of the chin , stitch around to the other side- remember to leave an opening so you can stuff the head!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177280[/ATTACH]

This is how a trimmed head looks from the back
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177281[/ATTACH]

Cut out 1 set of wings on the fold
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177282[/ATTACH]

Lay opened wings on another piece of felt and stitch around (leave opening) , trim back even with the front . Stuff just to the line on pattern.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177283[/ATTACH]

Cut out the feet, layer onto another piece of felt, stitch all the way around, trim.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177284[/ATTACH]

Pull back of foot away from front and cut a slit in the BACK ONLY
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177285[/ATTACH]

Stuff feet lightly. When you glue them on the basket you will not see the slit.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177286[/ATTACH]

Glue on the pieces
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177287[/ATTACH]

Yikes! forgot to stitch the wing shut, awww I'll just glue it.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]177288[/ATTACH]

Happy Hunting!
