How to sew a soft rooster toy from fabric with your own hands

To get started, download the pattern or transfer it from your computer. Then cut out the pieces and trace the outline onto the fabric. You can make wings, tail feathers and even a comb from material of different colors. The rooster will look even more interesting.

Sew all the details on a machine with a minimum pitch, preferably 1 mm, so that the seam does not come apart when stuffing. Sew legs, wings, paws, claws and beard in a closed line. Cut leaving a minimal allowance. Make slits for stuffing. The main thing is to arrange the legs and wings in a mirror image and only then make cuts so that they can be hidden when you sew the parts to the body.

Turn out all the parts and start preparing. Stuff the body through the tail hole, which you did not stitch tightly. Stuff the beak tightly, but not so much the scallop.

There is no need to fill the beard with holofiber. Bend it in half inside the cut, and on the reverse side, use red threads to match, make a basting stitch, stepping back half a centimeter from the edge of the fold to give it shape.

Sew the comb to the head with a hidden seam, slightly spreading the pre-bent and basted sections to the sides.

Do the same with the beak. Fold the base and sew it exactly in the middle of the head. Attach the beard along the back fold under the beak.

For the eye sockets, cut out a small circle of fabric. Glue or sew a button on it. Then, with the pupil, secure the eyes on the sides with glue or thread. I made a circle from yellow fleece, and the pupil from a hemisphere and put it all on glue. This is much faster and more accurate.

Now you can start making the legs. You don't have to fill them too tightly. The main thing is that the padding under the fabric looks uniform and there are no noticeable dents. After stuffing, close all holes with any seam; it will not be visible. Sew a fringe to the leg for beauty, and cover the top edge with lace.

Fill the wings and tail with filler very lightly and make decorative stitching with any thread, possibly lace.

Gather the tail feathers onto a button, then insert into the hole and sew up. Close the seam with lace.

Now all that remains is to attach the wings and legs with buttons to the body, and our handsome rooster is ready!

What wonderful pants and combat comb he has! Such a cocky cockerel!

I wish you all creative discoveries!

New Year 2017 is the year of the Fire Rooster, so it is very important not only to decorate the owl’s home in accordance with all the preferences of the owner of the year, but also to give appropriate gifts. For example, any child really loves soft toys, so they will probably like a toy rooster, especially since you can sew it yourself.

Who doesn't love tilde toys?

Toys made in the tilde style appeared a long time ago, however, despite this, they remain popular today. And this is not surprising, because they are very easy to make and are also great for interior decoration and as a gift. Therefore, if you are interested in sewing such a toy yourself, then take into account some nuances:

— to sew a doll, use exclusively natural plain fabrics, for example, cotton, fleece or linen, and colored materials are better suited for making clothes;

— the lobe seam should be laid strictly in the center of the toy’s head.

Many needleworkers prefer to use decorative elements and cosmetics to decorate the gilda. This allows you to make the toy more realistic and stylish. For example, using regular powder you can give your toy a blush or create a kind of tan. As an alternative to cosmetics, you can use other available products, such as colored pencils or cocoa powder.

Toy cockerel: cutting

Making any toy begins with cutting and preparing everything necessary for further sewing. Cutting is done according to a pattern, a large number of which can be found online on thematic sites dedicated to the subject of cutting and sewing. Just choose any pattern you like, then cut out bases from cardboard based on it. It is worth noting that cutting can be done based on the dimensions indicated in the pattern, or if desired, you can increase the dimensions. In this case, it is necessary to take fabric approximately 3 millimeters larger. This reserve is needed for seams.

Toy “Tanned Cockerel”

If you want to sew an original cockerel gilda, then before starting the sewing process you can boil the fabric in coffee, then dry it and coat it thoroughly with glue mixed with coffee powder. This will give the fabric not only a unique color, but also an amazing coffee aroma that will fill the room with fragrance, which, if desired, can be enhanced with a small amount of vanilla.

To make such a toy, absolutely any pattern that vaguely resembles a human figurine is suitable. The end result will be an original toy that resembles a man with a rooster's head and wings.

To give the rooster stability, before sewing on the legs, small wooden skewers are attached to the body of the rooster, which are stuck into the main part of the toy approximately 4 centimeters, and the excess part is simply cut off. And to make the toy even more stable so that it can stand without problems, the legs can be made from polymer clay or salt dough, which is used for modeling.

To decorate the toy, various wardrobe elements are used, which are sewn separately according to given sizes.

Soft toy cockerel: the easiest sewing method

If you don’t want to bother too much with a toy, then you can sew not a tilde, but a soft toy in the shape of an ordinary rooster, which sits majestically on its nest. This is the simplest variation of the toy that even inexperienced seamstresses can make. Just find a suitable pattern online and get to work.

DIY rooster pattern

A toy in the shape of a rooster can be used to decorate a New Year tree, interior, or simply placed in the middle of the table. In addition, this toy will be a wonderful gift for children who love soft toys. The options for sewing a toy discussed above were based on the use of a pattern, however, you can easily make a pattern yourself.

All that is necessary is to adhere to the following sequence of actions:

1. Decide on the size of the toy, then draw a circle on cardboard, the diameter of which will be equal to the size of the rooster’s head.
2. An oval is drawn under the circle, which will be the body of the bird, and connected to the circle with two lines that act as the neck.
3. On both sides of the proposed body, draw two more ovals of slightly smaller size and sharpen them at the ends to give them a little feathering. They will be the wings of the future toy.
4. Below the main oval, another small oval is drawn, which will play the role of a tail. Its lower part needs to be made a little pointed so that it looks like feathers.
5. Using an oval, we make a small notch on the body of the bird so that it looks like the protruding chest of a rooster.
6. On the circle that acts as the head, draw the eyes and beak.
7. In the same way, we make a pattern for the comb and beard, and proceed to sewing the toy.

I suggest that all needlewomen sew a rooster out of fabric with their own hands. Why him? Because the coming year will pass under the auspices of the Red or Fire Rooster. This is what the Chinese calendar promises.

Those needlewomen who have never sewn textile toys will need an interesting pattern of a rooster made of fabric to create an original symbol of the year 2017. As well as a step-by-step description of this process. This is what we will talk about.

What materials to choose and how to sew a rooster with your own hands

Everyone knows that this bird is colorful and bright. Therefore, all materials for making a rooster with your own hands from fabric must meet these requirements.

For stuffing, cotton wool or padding polyester is useful. Since a fabric cockerel rests on soft legs, it will have to be placed on a horizontal surface. But you can “teach” him to stand if you insert a rigid frame made of thick wire inside his paws and body.

DIY fabric rooster patterns

First you need to choose the appropriate option. For the toy suggested above, this pattern option is suitable.

If you want to make the symbol of the year so that it looks more like a living thing, then you will need pieces of fur of different shades. Then the faux fur will imitate the feathers of a bird. By the way, the pattern of a rooster made of fabric may be different. For example this one.

But simply choosing them on the Internet is not enough. If you print them out, they will appear small. As a result, the toys will become very tiny. To enlarge the patterns of fabric cockerels, you will need to open the saved file in any graphic editor. In it, increase the image size. Then print it out on several sheets of paper. All that remains is to put them together to use in fabric work.

To do this, they must be transferred to cardboard.

This will make it easier to attach patterns to the fabric.

Step-by-step instructions on how to sew a rooster with your own hands:

Trace the details, leaving seam allowance. It should be at least 1.5 cm, and preferably 2 cm. Be sure to pay attention to the fact that paired parts of the rooster from different types of fabric should be outlined on the same material. Moreover, every second detail must certainly be turned upside down so that it turns out to be a mirror image.

Cut out all the details.

Sew the pattern pieces together in pairs from the wrong side. Here you should leave a gap of a few centimeters so that the piece can be turned out and stuffed. It is better to leave this gap on an inconspicuous part.

Turn them inside out and fill them with filler, except for the under-eye area. Sew up the gaps.

All that remains is to connect all the parts with each other. You can make the wings movable. To do this, they need to be fastened with buttons of a suitable color and size. This is how you can make various cockerels from fabric with your own hands.

The eyes of this symbol of the year can be sewn from pieces of fabric or round buttons that match the color. Someone recommends drawing the eyes of a rooster. Then you will need gel pens. And you can fix the drawing using transparent acrylic varnish from a spray can.

The second version of the cockerel made of fur fabric

This toy requires a rigid frame throughout the entire figure. It should extend from the paws to the head and tail. The beginning of production is similar to what was described earlier.

The differences are noticeable at the stage of joining the pieces of the body, since the pattern of the fabric cockerel is not formed by whole parts. First, from the wrong side, you need to sew the parts of the breast with the abdomen and torso. Then turn the workpiece right side out.

Now it's time to sew the two halves of the head together, leaving a gap for the stuffing. Do the same with the wings.

Insert a wire frame inside the body, from which leave leads for the parts of the tail and legs. You can simply pierce the fabric with wires for the tail.

Give volume to the body and head, that is, fill them with filler. Sew them together. There is no need to fill the wings. If desired, cardboard can be inserted into them to make them more rigid. Sew the wings along the top to the body.

Connect the two parts of the beard and beak.

Secure them in their places on the toy.

The tail of this rooster is formed by simple strips of fabric, which are sewn along one side. To avoid the difficulty of turning parts inside out, they should be sewn right side out right away.

Place them on the wire coming from the body. Sew them on. There are paws left. It is recommended to simply cover them with a suitable soft material over a durable frame. To complete the production of the Cockerel toy, you need to decorate the eyes.

Toy options

Those needlewomen who want variety will find other types of patterns useful. For example, if you have several suitable pieces of felt, you will get a bright felt rooster with your own hands, save the pattern.

Please note that the dotted lines on the pieces indicate extra stitching. It is necessary to give expressiveness to a felt rooster.

The toy will be unusual and cute if the pattern of the rooster made from fabric is like this.

And who said that a fabric rooster should be a simple toy? We offer you a product that is suitable for interior decoration. The following pattern will be useful for this.
