Very soon the sun will warm, the drops will ring, and together with April, Easter, the holiday of all Christians, will come to our house. I propose to meet him not empty-handed: to sew Hen, which can be decorated with Easter eggs.

We need quite a bit:

household napkin yellow color(this is used for washing dishes) measuring 35 by 70 cm a piece of lettuce fabric (remains of chintz are suitable) 30 by 80 cm quite a bit (15 cm by 30 cm) of red drape or velor movable eyes glue "Moment" sewing thread and needle scissors a dry bar of soap or a pencil for tracing details

First, draw patterns - patterns according to the proposed scheme. You can experiment with the sizes: make the chicken a little larger or a little smaller. Look around your kitchen, compare the dimensions of the finished work with the place where you would like to attach the Easter composition. In our case, the height of the chicken is 23 cm.

On a napkin folded in half, we lay out the patterns of the body and tail, circle them and then cut them out with a seam allowance, but we cut the wings strictly along the contour, since they will be single-layer and do not need to be sewn. Attention! We cut out the tail last, unfolding the yellow fabric and placing a piece of lettuce under it: the tail should turn out to be two-tone.

We do the same with the red fabric, only now we have to circle the pattern of the scallop and the beard. If you are using drape, then you can cut out the details without a seam allowance and sew on the right side of the fabric. We decided that the scallop of our chicken should be velvety and shiny, so we work with velor, when cutting we make an allowance and we will sew from the inside

We sew all the blanks on sewing machine, and this is what we get.

Now is the time to do the wings. We cut out two strips of lettuce fabric 45 cm long and 6 cm wide. We iron both blanks alternately along the middle line, tucking the side edges of the tape inward. This must be done so that the edge of the frill does not fray. We put the ironed strip under the wing, form tucks and attach the frill on a typewriter.

Particular attention should be paid to the fact that the left and right wings are sewn in a mirror.

The next stage of our work: we turn out the body, tail, comb and beard details. We fill the blanks with padding polyester, fill small parts with a stick or pencil. It looks like a comb with a beard.

And so is the body.

We tighten the stuffed torso with a needle with frequent large stitches over the edge, leaving a small hole at the bottom. We cover it with an oval measuring 9 cm by 6 cm and sew it now with small, inconspicuous stitches.

Like this!

Particular care is required when sewing on the tail: we start sewing from the middle in order to prevent the workpiece from shifting, we gradually sew the circle and bring the needle through the body to an inconspicuous place - the bottom.

Front view.

Back view.

We also carefully sew the scallop.

Now the entrance will go glue "Moment". From a non-flowing, contrasting fabric, we cut out two isosceles triangles: larger and smaller - this will be the beak.

We lightly crush both blanks along the middle line, glue the bases of the triangles with glue and glue them where the beak should be, placing the large blank on top. Glue two beards under the beak, laying one on top of the other. And the last thing we need to do is glue the eyes. For greater expressiveness of the eyes, we will put on a green undereye, which can be cut out of thin plastic.

It's time to decorate our chicken with testicles. How to do this is up to you. You can put a chicken in a wicker biscuit bowl, placing multi-colored Easter eggs under the wing (as they called in Rus' Easter eggs) - then our heroine will proudly sit in a festive nest.

You can attach a chicken to a skein of green threads for knitting, not forgetting the eggs, then the composition will turn out to be especially bright and pleasing to the eye.

You can complicate the pattern a little and add little yellow chickens to the chicken. Then the whole family will look like this!

Whichever option you choose, your chicken will be the most beautiful, because it is made by hand!

Good luck! See you soon!

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 with acrylic paint, as 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! Natasha-Violet

	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 details (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.

Happy Easter is coming soon. Many people, in anticipation of the celebration, try to decorate their home with figurines symbolizing this day.

Be sure to look, which are easy to do with your own hands.

very organic to festive table will look like a hostess hen supporting family hearth. It is very easy to make such a toy, you can make it yourself. You can involve children in the work, because preparing for the holiday with the whole family is much more interesting!

For work you will need:

• two pieces of fabric in brown and red colors,
• thread and needle,

• two beads.

How to sew an Easter chicken from fabric with your own hands

First you need to draw a pattern. It will not be difficult to do this, since all the details are very simple.

Or you can take finished pattern Easter chicken and print it on a printer:

Cut out paper pieces:

Next, transfer the pattern to the fabric. Most importantly, do not forget to make allowances for the seams. Cut out all the details in the quantity in which it is necessary. So, to create the body, you will need two parts, for the wings - four, for the scallop - two and one piece of fabric for the base.

Turn inside out and sew together the details of the future torso, leaving a small hole to fill the resulting figure with padding polyester. The seam for stitching parts is better to use a "back needle" or sew on a sewing machine. If it is difficult for children to make such seams, then you can process the details with a buttonhole seam.

Then sew the body and base together, and place a piece of cardboard between them. This will give the toy stability.

To hide ugly seams, sheathe the bottom of the craft with lace.

Now you can start creating wings. Break the four parts into two pairs and sew them together, and then, stuffed with padding polyester, attach to the body.

Then, when the base is ready, you can start decorating the future chicken. Make an apron from a piece of lace, glue or sew beads in place of the eyes. Cut out a small triangle from the red fabric. This will be the beak. Glue it in place.

There are small touches left. Sew the details of the scallop and, after stuffing it with padding polyester, attach it to the head of the chicken. If desired, you can decorate the neck of the hen with a lace collar.

Easter hen ready. She can allocate a place on the festive table, she will look very cute and at home next to Easter eggs.

Easter chicken is a wonderful Easter symbol that you can sew with your own hands.

How to make other Easter gifts, you can see here

Hen with a pocket for eggs, or the so-called Easter chicken.

the chicken is sewn from cotton fabric, you will also need a rope or cord, ribbon (for tying), yarn or floss threads for the scallop and tail.

According to the template, we cut out the details, one large one (we will fold it in half later) and two wings. we sew the wings to the body, the threads - in place of the scallop and tail, bend the bottom of the chicken and sew it, insert the cord. The beak is made of a triangle of fabric, sewn in half.







P.S. I don’t know what the chicken has to do with Easter, because in the Old Testament a lamb was slaughtered on Easter, and according to the New Testament, Easter lost its power (since the holiday symbolized the sacrifice of Christ, which had already happened when He came into our world and died for us) and Christ's substitution for the Supper.

In order to sew an Easter chicken, you must first prepare a pattern. By the way, you can make it according to your own sketch. Draw the outline of the chicken and then make two patterns on the fabric that you will prepare for this craft (this can be either a simple colorful chintz fabric or shreds of more expensive and elegant fabric - choose according to your desire).

Wings, or rather paper patterns, for the chicken need to be drawn separately. The pattern for them is also separate.

The wings and scallop of the chicken are best made from a fabric of a different color than the whole chicken.

For a more visual process of patterning and sewing an Easter chicken-basket, you can see a photo from step by step this craft (see photo below):





In order for the chicken sides of the basket to be denser and keep their shape, you should put a denser fabric between the two parts of each side of the chicken.

Easter hen with a pocket for eggs. The color of the fabric is taken in light tones with a pattern.





The chicken is sewn according to the pattern. The fabric must be glued to the interlining. For more information on how to sew a patchwork chicken, see here.



And another Easter chicken.

A detailed description of the work, how to sew a chicken, see here

The Easter chicken has a residence permit in the homes of almost all needlewomen, as well as in the homes of their relatives and friends.

After all, you can make such an accessory for a festive interior or table decoration quite quickly, and a minimum of materials will go to such a chicken, you can even sew it from shreds, having previously assembled a canvas using the patchwork technique.

An Easter chicken made of fabric can be sewn in the form of a soft flowerpot or a basket for Easter eggs.

Therefore, the chicken should be double. with a bottom, it is necessary to sew it with a padding polyester or thin parallelon, this is necessary for the stability and rigidity of the product.

Examples of chickens for Easter made of fabric are shown below, there are also Easter chicken pattern:











Wonderful gift for Easter!

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!
