You can see how bald it is, so that's a big no-no. Luckily I happened to have a good amount of material in my plastic tubs. I found some "minky" which is a super soft material, normally used for throws etc for children.
I proceeded to make the chick out of this material. I was going to add a joint so the head could move - after wasting 3 hours trying to join the two halves together by pushing the washer onto the joint pin I gave up. This decision didn't come without complications, I had to unpick the stitches, then join the head to the torso. It's been a very long time since I had to sew so tiny stitches. I eventually finished it after nearly 10 hours ! I do hope the child likes it.
No this will definitely be the last teeny tiny soft toy I'm ever going to make. My hands are so achey since I finished it .
Well that's about all my news, so far anyway! I'm still in the middle of decorating the tree but time flies by so quickly.
I do wish you all a very happy Christmas and a fantastic new year.
