I have finished the pattern for the egg that turns inside out and becomes a chick and it is now in my pattern shop on Craftsy. This toy comes together in an hour or two, uses very little fabric, and is so cool. I think you're going to really enjoy making it, and just in time for the spring!
Edited: I just added the pattern to my Etsy shop, too, because I know that is easier for some people! Thank you!
I made a cool little animated GIF to show the transformation, but sadly I'm having difficulty getting it to format just right.
Edited: I fixed it! Yay!
In case you couldn't see it properly in my last post, here is the transformation in photos:

Yet another great pattern by you that is going onto my “to buy” list 😉 Love those transformation pics – such a cute idea!!
Tiffany says
Ok, I just had a genius idea – you should make a cute little dinosaur that can reverse back into its egg like the chick! That would be super cute! 🙂

It’s brilliant! You are TRULY outdoing yourself lately, ma’am. What is in the water down there? Sheesh.
Do you think this one would work in felt? Probably needs a bit more stretch?

Thank you! After writing my book I know have all sorts of skills (and time)! I think it might be fine in felt, actually. The hole is pretty wide. I say go for it!

Brilliant! I love the picture of the egg with just a pair of feet poking out!
abbyjane says
Thank you! This toy is so much fun! My kids can’t keep their hands off of it.
