Materials Needed:
- Egg Template – MeyerMakesReusableEggTemplate
- Fat Quarter or scrap of fabric
- Thread
- Sewing Machine
- Scissors
- Iron
- Fabric Marker (or pencil)
Instructions
- Cut Fabric: Cut out the template pieces, and place on the wrong side of your fabric. Trace the shape using a fabric marker. Cut out the pieces of fabric.
- Hem Pocket: On the pocket pieces, folder over the top edge about a ¼ of an inch. Give it a good press. Stitch the hem using a ¼ inch seam allowance.
- Sew Edges: Place fabric pieces right sides together. The “pocket” pieces will overlap and line up with the other front piece of fabric. Pin if you would like, and stitch around the edge, ¼ inch seam allowance. Trim close to the seam allowance but careful not to avoid your stitches.
- Turn Right Side Out: Flip the fabric egg right side out through the opening. Give a quick press with the iron and your egg is complete!
