'Feathers' Craft Challenge

Win £25 to spend at Cuddly Buddly!


Cuddly Buddly have just announced their new monthly Craft Challenge and the first theme is 'Feathers'. Everyone is invited to take part and at the end of the month, on Monday 14th April, a winner will be chosen to receive a £25 gift certificate to be spent in the shop on any of their 12,000+ products!  For the full rules and details pop along to Cuddly Buddly Blog.



I was delighted when Kim told me the theme as I knew my egg cosies would fit the bill perfectly.  I used a gorgeous free digital stamp from Cuddly Buddly for the applique, a rooster with stunning tail feathers!








These egg cosies not only look great, they're also easy to make which is just as well as I need over thirty of them as place markers for the dinner table on Easter Sunday!  I'm adding the recipient's initial to each cosy for that added personal touch and letters are also a good first shape to try if you're new to applique.  

I have written a full tutorial for Cuddly Buddly which you can find here and it includes a free printable pattern, so you can get started on your own cosies straight away!
