Butterfly Egg Cosy

1. Using the template, cut out one cosy in light green felt. Using pinking shears for the top and sides, cut another slightly larger from the dark green. Set aside the dark green back.

2. Cut out one medium butterfly in dark pink, one small butterfly in light pink, one orange body and five small leaves.

3. Stitch around the edge of the dark pink butterfly. If machining, place it on a piece of paper larger than the butterfly to help keep fingers away from the machine. Tear away the paper once sewn. Repeat this for the smaller butterfly adding more detail this time. Hand stitch the orange body on the top using horizontal stitches across it. Set aside.

4. Hand stitch the five leaves to the pale green egg cosy front as shown, adding a stem, and stitch a swirl where the butterfly has flown, and antennae.

5. Lay the two butterfly pieces on top of each other and secure by hand stitching small stitches down either side of the orange body. Try to keep the stitches taut as this will help the 3D feel. Place the butterfly onto the cosy and secure with a few hand stitches down the middle so you keep the wings free.

6. Now place the finished front onto the dark green cosy back; you should be able to see the pinked edge of the back all the way round. Place a piece of ribbon 10cm long folded in half to form a loop in between the front and back at the top and stitch all around the curved edge. To finish, stitch a black button as shown.
