Little Banty Chick Pincushion Pattern
Little Banty makes a great sewing companion; she's there when you need her and she keeps her opinions to herself.  Even on a bad hair-do day, her feet are flopped firmly and flat on the ground.  Although holding sewing pins is enough justification for this character's existence, she also makes a great name tag holder and place setting favor for any hen gathering.  Sand filling keeps pins clean and sharp and gives weight and stability.  Included are the following to make one Little Banty:  pattern, beak fabric, glass seed beads for eyes, comb, wattles, and feet, plus complete instruction with lots of diagrams!
