Step 5 - Stuffing and Finishing

See The Video For Step 5  At This LINK

Option 1:

Stuff the Momma Chick with the poly fill, then with matching 

yarn sew the bottom closed.

Option 2: 

Do not stuff the Momma Chick. 

and put the baby chicks inside for a fun play set.

Option 3:
 make a pillow Form as shown in the Video, so th stuffing stays put, 
and does not show through the stitches.
