    I misread that and wondered why someone had a recipe link on here rather than another thread!

    Thanks, yes it was pretty easy. I had to do the fingery bits on the head twice as I'd made them too narrow to turn out. Had to do the bum twice too as made the base too narrow.

    All of the shapes are easy enough to copy, with the main chicken body, just draw a chicken shape but with a wide flaring base as that fabric needs to wrap round the front and back. I cut the base out after the whole thing was assembled, measured the whole with string and laid the string in an oval to cut the bottom out.

    Maybe took 2 hours start to finish but it was on and off.

    Hope that makes sense.
