For the Easter shrub or as a nice souvenir - the more colourful the fabrics, the happier the little birds you sew from them. You don't even need a sewing machine for this, you can sew the few seams by hand in no time. To imitate the cute birds, simply download the motif template.
And it is as easy as that:
Cut the fabric according to the template and cut approx. 5 mm in the middle of the fabric for the hanging tape. Fold the fabric in the middle right to right, thread the hanging tape through the slit so that the loop is on the inside. Fold 6 cm of check ribbon for the beak in half and place it at a slight angle 1 cm below the fabric break so that the beak is on the inside.
Sew up the narrow sides as well as the closed side with 5 mm of Nathzugabe, thereby the beak and fix Ribbon that. Turn and fill with cotton wool.
For the legs, cut pieces of shiny cord about 10 cm long and knot both ends.
Place the short seams on top of each other and sew the bird crosswise. Sew up the legs as well.
Sew back to the middle and stand from bottom to top to the hanging tape.
Tighten the thread so that the bird gets its shape and then sew.
Extra tip:
For a better hold, prick again through the middle of the body and sew at the bottom. Finally sew on Rocailles as eyes.
Insert beak
Sew in legs
Hanging tape and sew in shape
For the beak check ribbon is folded in half and placed diagonally into the fabric folded to the right.
For the legs a piece of shiny cord is placed crosswise under the short transverse seam of the bird
A sewing thread is pulled across the bird from below, pulling the thread tight so that the bird gets its shape. Then sew the hanging tape to it.

Alternative idea: Sewing chickens
With the help of this idea even small chickens can be sewn excellently. For the legs use small wooden beads with approx. Ø 6 mm
