Wings sewn on the outside of the sleeves and in the center of the back. The denticles along the edge of the wings are made of contrasting color or shiny fabric (if the fabric is yellow, then they are red, green or black) (Fig. 1). Multicolored feathers sewn on both sides of the wings (Fig. 2).

Chicken Christmas costume perfect for 2017 of the Rooster, it will be the central figure of the whole holiday. In the same way, you were already preparing for 2016, but then they sewed for the child.

Children's chicken costume

DIY chicken costume can be sewn for a child 4-5 years old in advance children's matinee in kindergarten or theatrical performance of fairy tales for a holiday. It is used in play, educational and theatrical activities of children in preschool institutions, so the sewing master class is useful for both parents and educators. The outfit will consist of a skirt, blouse and hat.

You can start sewing the product if you have basic skills in cutting fabric and working with a sewing machine. You can also involve a child in work, let him observe the process, which will positively affect the development of his imagination and creative skills.

Modern parents have the opportunity to buy any necessary suit in the store, most of them do just that, because there is always not enough time, and independent sewing of a product requires a lot of attention and time. However, working together with your child will allow you to have fun and give him much-needed attention. Children will be able to join sewing, replenish their vocabulary and will be able to boast to friends that they themselves sewed baby suit hens... And the boys will be happy to take part in the creation.

Nm you need a yellow fabric, the upper skirt should be sunny, saturated, so it is better to choose synthetic fabric, let's say it will be nylon or satin. But in order for the product to be pleasant to the child's body, it is necessary to make a lining, for which it is recommended to take a cotton fabric of white or yellow color. We also need sewing threads in yellow; sewing pins, scissors, a piece of dry soap or a special marker for patterns are also useful. You will need not only an ordinary sewing machine, but also an overlock with which you will process the edges of the product. If there is no overlocker, because this is a special expensive device, you can use the zigzag stitching built into your machine.

Separately prepare a template for a skirt pattern and an elastic band about 3 cm wide. For neat seams, be sure to have an iron ready. There will be three pieces of patterns: the main detail, the lining detail for the skirt and the strip pattern for the belt.

Chicken costume for girls

Chicken costume for girls should sit nicely on the figure: be not very large, but not too tight, otherwise it will hinder movement and the child will be uncomfortable in it. Even if you are already using ready-made pattern, be sure to take measurements from the child, for example, the elastic for the belt should not be tight and tighten the tummy, but it should not be too loose, otherwise the skirt will fall off.

Our skirt will consist of two parts - a half-sun, and two parts for a belt. Leave a seam allowance of about 5 mm when cutting the fabric.

At the first stage, you need to fold the two parts inside with the front side and grind them on the side cuts on a machine. Now you have outlined the contours of the skirt, but you need to make another belt. Fold the two strips inward with the face and sew along the dyno, leaving allowances of about 5 mm, then unfold the parts and press the seam, leveling it so that the finished belt is neat.

Now you need to align the edges of the belt so that the front side remains inside. Side slices align and secure with sewing pins so that the cuts do not move while sewing. To prevent the pins from interfering with the sewing machine from laying the main line, they must be positioned perpendicular to the future line. When you sew the side cuts, the pins can be removed.

It remains only to turn the belt out, fold it along its length and combine the unstressed sides, and then sweep it on the overlock. When sewing the belt, leave a small hole to insert the elastic.

If you do not have an overlock, you can use a hand-held buttonhole to process the cuts, or you can process them with a bias tape that is sewn on a sewing machine. Bias binding is the most popular method, since an overlock is an expensive device that only a professional seamstress can afford, and the Bias binding method is available to every seamstress.

When you apply the bias tape to the cut, it is not enough just to pin it with pins, it is better to additionally sweep it. Only after you have sewn the stitch on the sewing machine can the basting be neatly removed with sharp scissors.

Sew a chicken costume You can do without an overlock, but it will take more time and additional effort, because on the overlock we will also process the upper and lower cut of the skirt.

The lining will be a rectangle cut out of white cotton fabric. The side cuts must be sewn together on the seamy side. Trim the top and bottom of the lining separately. After that, you can sew two prepared blanks so that you have a finished skirt. For a master class, how to make a chicken costume, you can choose any method of sewing a fluffy skirt, some of which we will discuss below.
