How to Make a Fabric Easter Egg. Stitch up an Easter egg surprise with this fun and easy-to-follow
project. You will need Egg template Printed linen fabric Pen Scissors Sewing machine Batting
Pencil or knitting needle Needle and thread Hot glue gun Trim Easter basket and assorted
fabrics (optional). Step 1. Use a template to draw an egg-shaped oval on the back of
fabric with a pen. Repeat this shape 4 more times and then cut them out of the fabric
with your scissors. Use a different color, style, or pattern of fabric for each of the
four sides for a wild, stylized fabric Easter egg. Step 2. With the external sides of the
fabric facing each other, use your sewing machine to sew 2 sides of 2 pieces together,
about a quarter of an inch from the edge. Step 3. Repeat the same process with the other
two sides and then sew the two halves together, external sides facing. Leave a 1-inch-hole
at the top to turn the right sides out. Step 4. Stuff the egg with cotton or polyester
batting using a pencil or a knitting needle. Work the batting around to make the egg as
smooth as possible. Tear the batting fibers into smaller pieces for even filling and to
avoid a lumpy egg. Step 5. Hand sew the opening in the egg closed with a needle and matching
thread. Step 6. Stitch or glue decorative trim onto the egg with either a hot glue gun
or a needle and thread to finish up your first fabric egg. Then make some more, and load
your eggs into an Easter basket for a long-lasting decoration. Did you know On The Thursday before
Easter, German Christians use green eggs as a sign of mourning.
