Hen under the eggs stitched scheme. Easter hen

Easter is just around the corner, so I could not get past the MK from Elfik Yulia " Easter basket with hares."

You can sew such a basket yourself very simply. The spelling and style of the author have been preserved.

There are several options for making such baskets on the Internet, I tried to make the process as time-saving as possible. Naturally, not to the detriment of the final result?
Go! We select suitable fabrics. Such baskets look good in absolutely any color combinations, but my clients, as a rule, prefer bright, juicy colors. Although the next three baskets (two weeks later) will be "quieter".

Materials and details of the Easter basket pattern

The diameter of the bottom of our basket will be 19 cm.

Eared template!

Cut out 4 strips along the share:

2 parts for the top of our bunnies (I think it is better if it is a white fabric) 10x73 cm
2 parts for the bottom of our bunnies (one of the fabric that will be on the outside of the basket and one of the one that will be on the inside) 7x73 cm.
2 parts for the handle of the basket: 5x55 cm (from the "inner" and "outer" fabric).

The allowances for these parts are included and are 0.5 cm. If you are not sure that everything will be cut / stitched accurately, add a larger allowance.

Blank for the bottom of the basket

From thick cardboard we cut out a circle with a diameter of 19 cm. We put it on the “outer” fabric, circle it and cut it out with an allowance of about 2.5 cm. The edge does not have to be even (you will understand why below). After that, we put it on the “inner” fabric, circle it and cut it out with an allowance of about 1 cm.

With the help of PVA glue (or some other, it is not very important) we glue the synthetic winterizer to the cardboard mug on both sides. We put it under pressure. After the glue dries, cut off the excess synthetic winterizer, leaving about 0.3 cm. That is, you need to cut it so that the cardboard does not protrude from under the synthetic winterizer.

How to make Easter basket borders

We grind the details of the top of the bunnies (white stripes) with the details of the bottom (colored stripes). Allowance 0.5 cm. Do not cut anything and save time? If during the cutting process you left a larger allowance, now you need to cut off the excess. We iron the seam.

We put the resulting stripes face to face, combine the seams and, applying the template, draw the heads of the bunnies. When drawing the next bunny, step back 2 mm. This is necessary so that in the future it will be possible to make a notch in this place (for better eversion). Should fit 10 bunnies. We draw a “barrel” for the first and last bunny :), for the rest we circle only the heads. to the seam line.

We are gaining patience and sewing along the drawn line. With scissors "zigzag" cut off the excess fabric close to the line. How close - be guided by the flowability of the fabric. I have about 3 mm. We make notches in the right places. The right places are: between the ears, between the bunnies and in places where the ears go into the head.

We gain even more patience and iron carefully. Between the bunnies we lay vertical lines: from the horizontal seam to the bottom edge. With a simple pencil, we outline the future nose (the eyes are not needed yet, since the nose may increase during the drawing process: the hand will twitch, the paint will smear, etc., and the eyes may not be where they are needed). We draw a nose with acrylic paints, then eyes. I draw the nose with the thinnest brush, the eyes with the blunt side of the thickest needle. We tie knots on the ears (so far with an ordinary thread, better reinforced). By the way, you can draw eyes later, as I did during this master class. But in the next basket I tried it at this stage, it turned out to be much more convenient. The hares lie flat, there are no folds anywhere (do not forget, we tie the ears after drawing).

We blush the cheeks with ordinary shadows or blush, fill the bunnies with synthetic winterizer, chlorofiber or something else. Tight enough. We lay a line along the bottom edge (for convenience, we push the filler as high as possible and at a distance of 2.5-3 cm (or as much as your machine needs) and sweep our strip). Stitched? That's what a funny harmonica hare we got :) It's better to sweep the edge.

We decorate the upper seam with a suitable rep ribbon, braid, bindweed, lace.

We sew the bunnies “in a ring” with a hidden seam.

How to make the bottom of a basket

We take a Circle of a larger diameter (we had it from the “outer” fabric), lay basting stitches close to the edge, and turn the allowance near the circle from the “inner” fabric and fix it.

Do we put cardboard-synthetic padding on a circle of "outer" fabric? workpiece and tighten the thread. Gently fill inside the synthetic winterizer, striving to remain free.

We impose an “inner” circle and sew with hidden stitches. This seam will not be visible, so don't overdo it. Avoid possible creases and folds.

We plant our hares with their asses on the bottom and sew with hidden stitches. I usually go through twice. The first time is clockwise, the second is counterclockwise (or vice versa? If the fabric good quality and there is some sewing experience, problems should not arise. If the fabric is loose or does not work out neatly, this seam can be decorated in the same way as the top one. If it is lace, sew it on, if it is a braid, glue it with hot (or some other) glue.

That's what we get! Tired? A little left.

How to sew basket handles

We take the strips cut out for the handle of the basket, fold them in half lengthwise and lay a line at a distance of 0.5 cm from the edge. At the same time, we also sew one short section. On both lanes.

We turn it inside out, fill it tightly with filler, sew both “sausages” together, weave a pigtail, determine the length (usually I cut off 3-4 cm), fix the ends again, tuck the edges inward, sew. Happened? Attached to the basket. Most disliked moment? I first glue the handle with a hot gun in order to somehow fix it, after which I sew it discreetly. All this is not very convenient? In the last baskets, I sewed a handle at the stage when I sewed the bunnies “into a ring”. It turned out to be much more convenient, since the whole structure at this stage is more mobile. But for the first time, I advise you to sew on the handle last. This makes it easier to determine the number of curls, length, etc. It should turn out something like this:

We tie bows on the ears (it will take 10 pieces satin ribbon 30 cm each)

The basket is ready! We praise ourselves and admire the result!

Easter- This family celebration , which is traditionally nice to give small easter gifts relatives and close people.

As a gift, you can give painted Easter eggs, Easter cakes or some others sweets.

Children will be especially pleased to receive a gift in an interesting festive packaging: it could be easter bunny , which in Lately became very popular in our country, or else original basket filled with sweets, or traditional easter hen,..

I still prefer the option souvenir in the form of an Easter chicken, which is accompanied by a painted Easter egg.

So, to make an Easter chicken, we need:

fabric of 2 colors (I have 100% cotton);
pattern-pattern;
chalk (pencil, soap) for outlining the workpiece;
scissors,
sewing threads;
Knitting thread;
floss threads;
braid;
pin;
a little holofiber (you can do without it)
sewing machine or needle (if you plan to sew by hand).

1. In order for the Easter egg to fit in the hen, the size of the template should occupy almost the entire A4 sheet. The width of the pattern at the bottom should be about 23 cm.

2. Cut out the template, put it on the fabric and circle it without seam allowances. We mark the places where the chicken will have a beak, comb and tail.

3. We do the same manipulations on a fabric of a different color when we circle the template of the wings.
Do not forget that we have one wing template, and we need to draw two wings in mirror image: that is, first we outline the template with the face up, and then we outline the face down.

Here's what should work.

4. With a pencil, mark the place where the wings will be. We select threads by color. I have 2 colors: with threads to match the fabric, I made the main seams, and with light threads I sewed the wings.

5. First of all, you need to process the "neck" of the chicken (vertical dotted lines on the template). We process each side separately, without sewing to each other.

6. Then, sew the wings with a frequent zigzag stitch. In that part of the wings that imitates feathers, add just a little bit of holofiber and sew vertical stripes that allow you to make the wings a little more voluminous.

7. When the wings are sewn, the product is ironed.
When processing the bottom, you need to consider the width of your braid. I have a braid about 5-6 mm. First, we make a fold 5 mm wide (we iron), then another fold 1.3-1.5 cm - we also iron and sew.

8. We make a snake from knitting threads. We collect the tail "fan".

9. We add our "fan" of threads with the main part inside. We sew on a machine. We perform the same manipulations with the scallop and beak. The front part of the elements must be inside the product.

10. My chicken has a beak made from a piece. genuine leather. You can also use other materials such as felt, artificial leather, cardboard, thick oilcloth.

11. First, with a line stitch, I sewed on the tail, comb and beak.

12. Then, so that the fabric "does not crumble", we process the edges with a zigzag or overlock.

To make a chicken basket you will need:

- A pattern of all the details printed on a printer or redrawn by hand, in the size you need;
- Fabric for the front side of the chicken and lining fabric;
- Gasket material (doublerin on a knitted basis or non-woven fabric ironed in several layers);
- Small pieces of felt in red, white and black;
- Sewing threads in tone to fabrics;
- Glue (or tailor's pins).

To get started, prepare everything you need and transfer the pattern of all the details to paper in the size you need, then cut and transfer the outlines of the details to the fabric in the right amount. The fabric parts must be cut out, leaving a 1 cm allowance for the seams. The fabric for the chicken is suitable for both cotton and synthetic with a print or plain. Felt details of the beak, crest and eyes are cut out without allowances.

In order for the chicken basket to keep its shape, you will need cushioning material for density, from which you need to cut out the details of the sides and bottom according to the pattern. We cut out the details of the sides and the bottom without an allowance, lay it out on the prepared details of the front side of the chicken and iron it with an iron at high temperature. Then sew on the details of the eyes by hand. Fold the front and back sides of the sides in pairs, sew along the edge, turn out and straighten the seams. Then sew the prepared details of the sides by hand with a blind seam, carefully sewing in the beak and crest.

Seal the bottom, sew along the edge, turn it inside out, straighten the seams, then use tailor's pins to attach the bottom to the details of the sides (the bottom is fixed with glue in the photo) and sew all the details along the edge. Decorate the seam with a strip of fabric.

The Easter meal also has its richest traditions. This is one of key points bright feast of the Resurrection of Christ. And to decorate a smartly served table with suitable items means to make this moment especially bright and joyful. The simplest zigzag braid and funny motifs with chickens of the products presented below will “dilute” the severity of the black and white cage.

We sew a chicken for Easter together. Stage 1

Well, is everyone ready? Then let's start!

We print out the pattern (you can translate directly from the screen with a pencil). Size - the chicken carcass should occupy an A4 sheet in height (in the landscape arrangement of the sheet). The chicken pattern is not my idea, it's a kind of mix of two different chickens that I found among the MK on the Dublin website.

We cut out: 2 parts from the top fabric, 2 parts from the lining fabric, wings - 4 parts, scallop - 2 parts, bottom - two rectangles a little larger than the part itself.

We cut out 2 parts of the carcass from a synthetic winterizer or other insulation, we make a minimum allowance - about 3 mm.

We quilt the details of the carcass and the bottom (the synthetic winterizer can be steamed to make it tougher). After stitching, cut out the bottom according to the pattern.

I don’t outline small details, but a line along the edge of the pattern, securing it with pins around the perimeter. We sew the wings completely along the perimeter, placing a piece of synthetic winterizer under the bottom.

We cut the synthetic winterizer on the wings close to the line. On the allowances in the place of the deepening, we make cuts close to the line, on the places of the bulges, we put notches. We cut carefully, without touching the line. We grind the scallop along the curly cut.

Now carefully cut through ONE layer of fabric, the one that will be on the wrong side. We turn the wing through this hole. Be careful, observe the symmetry of the wings so that you don’t get two left or two right =)

We cut the allowance on the scallop very close to the line, in the corners (marked in red) we make cuts to the line, turn it out.

We fold the quilted parts with the lining face to face, sew (it is better to circle the pattern and scribble exactly along the contour), leaving a hole at the bottom for eversion. We also cut the allowances close to the line. We do the same with the bottom.

We turn out all the details. In order for the edges to be even, when turning them out, they need to be “rolled” between the fingers, so that the allowances lie down inside as needed. The edges of the parts are slightly ironed. I painted the scallop acrylic paint because there was no suitable fabric. There is also a square in the photo - this is a blank for the beak, a square 8x8 cm.

We sew a chicken for Easter. Stage 2

Cut out the strip for the tail at an angle of 45 degrees. The width of the strip should be slightly larger than the width of the lace. Length - 60 cm, excess can be cut off after shirring. We process the edges with a zigzag, I walked twice. Stretch the edge when processing, then it will be wavy.

We fold the beak.

We lay lines with a large stitch to assemble the details of the tail. Since I have rather hard linen as a finishing fabric, I shirred the details of the tail separately, but you can lay a line for assembly and align the stripes.

We pull the lower threads, distribute the folds evenly and fasten with a zigzag along the edge.

Decorate the wings to your liking

We outline the rest of the body on one of the parts of the carcass. On the front side, we sew them with hidden stitches to the carcass. We tuck the ends of the tail parts inward and also sew them up from below.

We cover with the second part of the carcass, cut off and connect the parts with hidden stitches, leaving the bottom and the area on the back unsewn.

We fix the bottom with pins in four places, combining the centers of the parts and also sew in with hidden stitches.

We sew on the wings (I glued Moment Crystal with glue), embroider (sew, glue) the eyes. I found in the bins such "surprised" ones))) On the breast, you can make an ornament from a piece of lace, or you can just tie beautiful ribbon.
Our beauty is ready!

Now I want to look at your chickens, and I remind you that those who show them on April 7-8 will receive postcards and small souvenirs from me! Successful tailoring!

So, the final stage of sewing an Easter chicken-basket.

HEN-BASKET

And again about chickens
Spring has come again, and now we are already preparing to celebrate Easter - we clean up the house, bake Easter cakes, come up with elegant patterns for Easter eggs. But did you notice? - even remaining habitually white, on Easter day these small symbols of the birth of a new life look especially clean, festive.
And how touching both colored and ordinary Easter eggs will look in a pretty patchwork basket!

We offer you an interesting patchwork idea, which comes from Japan, came to you through Finland.
Meet the textile chicken basket!

	2. In my work, I used paper for freezing. (freezer paper), from which I cut out the templates and which saves time by helping in the accuracy of the assembly. But in the traditional way with cardboard templates, everything, of course, will work out too. In the photo from the magazine and on the pattern, color options are visible. The body can be sewn from one single piece of fabric or divided into three parts: parts A, B, C. Then for the head and tail, you can choose fabrics that contrast with the body. Another option is to prepare for parts B And C patchwork block of squares - more about this in paragraph 8.
	3. We start with the selection of flaps in harmony with each other: for the middle of the body detail A); contrast for head and tail ( details B And WITH); for wings; as well as for lining inside the basket.
	4. According to the pattern, we cut out templates from paper for freezing (or simple cardboard). If you use paper for freezing, then all the details, except for the bottom, need to be cut out in twos in a mirror image and be sure to mark them A-A`, B-B`, C-C` in order not to get confused when cutting. We cut out all patterns without seam allowances.
	5. Iron the templates to the wrong side of the fabric, leaving gaps for allowances. Do not forget that each part has a pair, but in a mirror image. We cut out all the details already with allowances.
	6. We combine pins in the corners of the joint details A-B-C and A`-B`-C` and we grind them along the lines of the templates. We iron out the seams.
	7. You should get two front sides of the sides of the body ( remind! in mirror image).
	8. Option. head and tail ( details B And WITH) can be made patchy. I will show this on the example of another similar basket. We cut out strips from assorted rags 3.5 cm wide (including allowances of 7 mm), sew them into strips and then cut them into strips 3.5 cm wide again. We turn the blanks, choosing different combinations, and again sew the strips into blocks. For the tail and head of the chicken ( details B And C) one side of the chicken needs a 12x15 cm block. We iron the templates on the wrong side of the block so that the head part lies obliquely, and the tail part lies along the line connecting the squares. Cut out, adding allowances.
	9. We return to our model. We strengthen the blanks of the body with a tighter gasket. I used a one-sided dense adhesive synthetic winterizer. Blanks can be quilted or decorated with decorative braid, and then align the parts along the contours.
	10. Now take the fabric for the lining - the inside of the basket. We will strengthen it with one-sided adhesive interlining.
	11. Fold the details of the patchwork torso and a piece of fabric for lining facing each other, fasten with pins and stitch together, focusing on the lines of the cut out details. It's good to grab a synthetic winterizer a little. It is also convenient to connect the parts in a zigzag, rather than a straight stitch. In the middle of the bottom, leave a hole for eversion. After sewing, cut off the excess lining.
	12. After both parts of the body were twisted, ironed, and holes were sewn into them, we got two blanks for the sides of the body. Now we can attach wings to each of them. In the photo, the wings are already sewn on, but right now you will have to start preparing the wings.
	13. The wings are sewn on each side of the body, which means we need to prepare two wings ( in mirror image). For each wing, fold a suitable patch in half with the wrong side out. One of the sides (from the fold) can be strengthened with adhesive thin interlining or thin synthetic winterizer, and on the other hand, we iron the template so that we have room around for allowances of 0.5 cm. We cut the sandwich along the edge of the template. Don't forget to leave a hole for turning.
	14. We cut the allowances, turn it inside out, iron it, sew the hole by hand. You can decorate the wings with decorative braid and quilt. Or, at the next stage of assembly, use the stitch at the same time as attaching the wing to the body (this is how it was done on our sample).
	15. The bottom is sewn in the same way. Only for him it is better to take a denser synthetic winterizer.
	16. These are the blanks we got: two wings and the bottom of the future basket. Now we attach each wing to the prepared parts of the body.
	17. On the inside of one of the parts (from the side of the lining), we fix the comb, beak and beard with small stitches. In our sample, these details are cut out of soft felt. Then we make eyes on the front side - beads or small buttons are suitable for this.
	18. The scallop can be like this - from thick felt. Or you can sew a scallop and a beard from fabric according to the same pattern and fill it with a little padding polyester. And make the beak in the form of a folded triangle.
	19. Now the final stage is assembly, which is done manually. We need to give the blanks the shape of a basket. Pay attention to the marks in the patterns. We connect the halves of the bodies from the top point on the tail to the mark ABOUT on the bottom and from the point at the scallop to another mark ABOUT on the bottom. And between the two marks ABOUT the bottom will just stand up (similar marks on its pattern). Before stitching, we especially carefully combine the halves of the body with linings to each other, fasten with pins.
	20. We start stitching from the point 1 at the tail and with neat stitches we go down to the mark ABOUT. Then we attach the bottom and sew one of its sides-arcs 2 up to the mark ABOUT. We fasten and break the thread. We return to the starting point of the bottom 3 and from it we sew the second arc of the bottom. They join at the point 4 the torso, from which it is then convenient to continue to sew the halves of the breast up to the mark behind the scallop. All! The work is done!
We fill the basket with Easter treats - and the layer is ready! Happy Easter! New hopes! Let's sew together! Natasha-Violet
We sewed such baskets in the classes at the Club.

Holidays - how we love these days! Indeed, in addition to the fact that we will have a day off and we will spend this time with our family or company, we will also be able to do something with our own hands for the holiday. Of course, not everyone has time for this, but it is still worth trying to allocate it.

Today we will bring to your attention a master class on sewing an Easter chicken.

In order to sew an Easter chicken from fabric for the holiday, we need to prepare:

- three pieces of cotton fabric,
- a piece of felt
- threads,
- sintepon,
- black beads, etc.

Draw a chicken pattern on a piece of paper and indicate the number of parts.

Cut out the paper part of the chicken and prepare the fabric for the body. We put it in two layers.

We lay out the pattern and pin it to the fabric with pins.

With a pencil, transfer the outline of the pattern to the material.

From colored fabric we cut out the wings and tummy of the chicken.

We cut out the detail of the tummy from the fabric in one layer. We pin the pattern with pins. We transfer the outline of the part with a pencil to the fabric.

To cut out the wings, fold the fabric in two layers.

Let's transfer the outline of the details to the fabric. Cut out pieces with small seam allowances.

Fold the two pieces of the chicken body together with the right sides inward. Let's prepare the belly. Let's start pinning it from the place under the ponytail.

We pin the detail of the tummy to the bottom of the body, to the upper detail.

We take one side of the tummy to the upper part of the body.

Cut out a beard from felt. Lay out the felt in one layer.

Cut out the beak with a triangle of yellow felt.

On the details of the head of the chicken there are marks for the location of the beard and beak. We pin these parts to the head with pins. The beard and beak should be facing inwards, as shown in the picture.
