The template for the body of the egg cosy is a 10 cm square
with the top corners rounded off. I drew
an oval ear shape and a smaller oval for the inner ear. TIP –
fold them in half to check they are symmetrical and trim to adjust if
necessary.
Fold the square of felt in half and put the bottom of the
template on the fold to cut a double shape for the front of the egg cosy and
repeat for the back.
Draw a bunny face on the template, transfer to the front
piece and stitch a satin stitch nose, backstitch mouth and long stitch
whiskers. Sew the buttons on with
matching sewing thread.
Cut four ears from white felt. Back the pink fabric with
fusible web and cut two ear linings, then iron onto two of the ear pieces and
slip stitch with pink sewing thread.
Blanket stitch the backs of the ears to the fronts with white embroidery
thread.
Fold both main pieces of the egg cosy in half and pin
together, then blanket stitch through all four layers of felt to make a double
thickness cosy.
Slip stitch the ears into place and decorate with a length
of flower ribbon round the base.
