It would seem that there is nothing complicated here, all the components of the rooster costume are simple - wings, tail, beak, beard. But difficulties arise from the very beginning - if you make a tail, then it must be voluminous and keep its shape; the beak and beard in the form of a mask prevent the child from breathing; a hat with a scallop is too hot... But let’s still try to make something interesting with our own hands.
Let's start with the head. One of the most beautiful options for a rooster costume for both boys and girls is to sew a full-fledged balaclava cap with a comb, beak and beard.
1. Measure the length from the top of your head to your collarbones; the cap will reach approximately there.
2. Use a thin mesh for making, then the child will not be hot. Cut out a rectangle with protruding slopes for a more convenient shape. Sew into a circle and cut out an opening for the face. Pull the top part of the cap - this assembly will not be visible later.
3. Cut strips with feathers from a variegated brown-yellow fabric and sew them onto the mesh so that there is a few cm of clearance between the strips (for ventilation).
4. It is better to cut out the beak, comb and beard of the rooster from felt, as it holds its shape well. If the beak is long enough and constantly lowers or folds, glue a wire to it on the underside and decorate it with ribbon to match the color.
On the details themselves, it is better to do stitching and embroidery with thick threads - it will look beautiful.
For more naturalness, you can sew some real feathers onto the hat.
This version of the top part of the rooster costume is good not only for its presentability, but also because nothing will interfere with the child’s face. But if it doesn't suit you, there are other ideas.
For example, you can make a cap like this:
You don’t have to sew it from scratch; you can simply paint a white cap with fabric paints (batik) and sew feathers into it as a comb.
And of course, masks are very common for costumes. They are also sewn either from felt or from other dense fabric. But do not forget that it is better to use a thin, body-friendly material as the base of the mask, onto which all other details will be glued.
Simple masks:
Complex masks:
Additionally, you can look at the elastic bands to wear as a mask.
A simple, but very convenient solution for a child is to sew the wings of a rooster into the sleeves of any jacket that matches the color - so that the wings unfold when the arms are raised.
And here is an example with a wedge-shaped cape:
You can also make wings in the form of mittens.
A complete but simple rooster costume: an elongated sleeveless T-shirt is sewn from two parts (you can even do it without undercuts) with a lock on the back back. It is embroidered with multi-colored feather details (you can sew them in whole stripes, as is the case with a balaclava cap). Wings made of thick fabric are sewn on top of the shoulders, and the wings are secured to the wrists with the help of ribbons. Yellow leggings are worn under the bottom of the sweater.
Idea No. 1: sew paw-shaped covers on top of the boots. To do this, the fabric must be starched or glued. To prevent the paws from falling off the heel of the boot, it is better to sew ties from the back and wrap them around the ankle.
The pattern looks like this:
Idea No. 2: sew false paws with an ankle fastening. The downside is that the paws will constantly roll back when walking and dancing, so it is better to fix them on the shoe itself.
We think these ideas will be enough for you to create your own unique rooster costume for a child with your own hands. Just don’t forget that not only the beauty of the outfit is important, but also functionality and convenience!
Increasingly, to decorate the interior of both a living room and a children's institution, an original design solution is used - interior toys, which may include dolls made from natural materials or others. Particularly popular are those that can serve as a talisman for their owner’s room. These include toys - symbols of a particular year. On the eve of the coming New Year, the most popular will be the Rooster - the symbol of 2017. To sew a rooster from fabric yourself, you can use the presented master class.
Rooster pattern:
The selected model consists of two pairs of parts: the first is a body sewn from the selected colorful fabric, the second is a red comb. Templates for both parts must be cut out of paper.
Using patterns, securing them to the fabric using bobby pins, carefully cut out the necessary parts from chintz or other material. For sewing a comb, silk or satin will be successful.
The cut out parts, folded with the right side inward, are sewn together, leaving a small gap on the upper bend of the body, so that in the future it will be possible to fill the body with padding polyester. The sewn product is turned outward and all elements are straightened.
The cavity of the figure is filled without leaving any voids in the elements, after which the gap left for these purposes is sewn up with a hidden seam using a fishing line.
After the work has been done, you can begin to design the front part of the toy and decorate it.
At the designated places, a beak and a heart-shaped beard of a rooster, cut out from red felt or other material at hand, as well as artificial eyes are attached using silicone.
Textile flowers will be used as decorative elements. They are very easily manufactured using the following algorithm:
A circle with a diameter of five centimeters is cut out.
It is gathered with thread along the entire edge.
The thread is pulled together to form a ball, straightened a little and a button is sewn in the center of the assembly.
Such flowers must be made in quantities of five or more pieces.
Two oblong leaves are cut out of green fabric. For greater effect, you can use scissors with curly blades.
At the last stage, using a glue gun, first the leaves and then the sewn flowers are attached to the front of the toy.
A bright textile rooster will serve as a wonderful decoration and at the same time a talisman for its owner’s room.

Then place a second piece of fabric on top, which will be the upper part of the body. Sew the details. Start at the front of the neck and work your way up to the tail.
Turn the head inside out and straighten the beak and comb.
Then take the part of the lower torso. It should be connected to the upper part. To be neat, the part is first pinned and then stitched. Leave a hole where you can place the stuffing. You must stitch the corners carefully.

The wings are sewn together as follows: fabric - synthetic winterizer - fabric. When creating wings, be sure to make longitudinal seams.
