Handmade Sheep Egg Cosy

I made this egg cosy last week, inspired because my friend Yuca loves sheep! I've cut out some more fabric to sew tonight so will hopefully have some pictures to put up tomorrow.

My 1st Handmade Chicken Egg Cosy

Well here it is, my first attempt at an Egg cosy.

It was made using a mixture of machine and hand sewing. I made it from various coloured felts from hobbycraft and some thick curtain fabric from Ikea. The pattern I used was from my Cath Kidston Sew book.

The chicken design I did myself just by cutting out the shapes from felt and trimming them till it resembled something like a hen. The inside is all lined with felt to keep my eggs toasty warm.

I quite enjoyed making this so will be making a few more. I do like the idea of having a handmade functional item rather than just decorative like my dolls tend to be.
