How cute is this chicken cushion for your pins and needles, right?
And the best part is its easy to make as it looks.
With the same fabric, cut a 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 square for the tail.

And with the beak fabric, cut a 1 x 1 square.
Next, iron the two small squares into triangles.
Place it right side down, fold the corner up across the diagonal, then press.
Fold it in half again, and press.
Repeat this to all 1 and 1 1/2 squares.
Clip to hold it in place.
Step 2
Moving on to the body, lay one of the squares, right side up.
Next, take the comb and lay it on the top left side, facing inward.
Pin into place as well.
Now, take the other body square, lay it on top, right side down.
Pin along the left and op side, and sew these two sides.
Step 3
Trim the top corner, then turn the piece inside out.
Sew the two small beads to where the eye should be placed.
After attaching the eyes, turn the piece again inside out.
Pin along the bottom, then sew, leaving about a 1 1/2 gap in the seam.
To create the 3D shape, open up the last side of the body piece.
Match the top and bottom seams on top of each other.
After this, take the tail piece and pin, matching up the center to the seams.
Pin the rest of the remaining seams, then sew.
After sewing, turn the chicken inside out to the gap.
To finish, hand sew the gap closed.
Your DIY chicken pin cushion is now finished!
