I am sorry, but I have not been able to take any pictures of the fabric chickens I have made, and I promised a pattern :oops: I have no camera now, and I am behind on all my various projects, so 'SORRY' to be unreliable!

PS. Julia from here donated some lovely fairies, which I have been making fabric bags to put them in to sell to raise money for 'henrehomers' and others. I have not been able to finish them because of time and other projects and I feel dreadful about this, because I thought I would have them all sold by now!So if any one has a small amount of free time, could you please help to sew on the handles and the buttons and embelishments, i would be very grateful! I can supply and post all materials by the way. Between now and Christmas would be a great time to sell them and make money for our feathery friends.

Ma Larkin I tried to send a pm but I'm not sure it worked, I wanted to know how many bags need doing and roughly how long each would take?

Hello Sunny! I did not get a PM from you, but I have sent one to you! I need to complete a total of ! think it was 140. I am going to check today, and get everything organised to get them completed and then sold!
I will see how it goes by the end of the day as to how many I finish. They don't take too long to make, its sewing on the handles and embellishments that. So I shall now get myself into gear and get cracking on them!

Have you ever wanted to sew Stace? Its very theraputic and rewarding :-D
I am glad you are thinking abour purchasing some. I think they would make lovely pressies for christmas!

140! yike*

I was just trying to get my head round it, if each one took 10 minutes then that would be 23 hours of work (I think, maths is really not my strong point). So I would be willing to do some, but not all!
