    2017 is already upon us with snowballs. New Year's festivities will begin soon and naturally we are waiting for gifts. We are ready to tell all craftswomen how to sew a rooster out of fabric with their own hands. We are sewing this particular bird because next year will protect precisely Fire Rooster or Red Rooster, as follows from the Chinese calendar. Sewing will not be difficult for a beginning needlewoman; we have amazing fabric rooster patterns that will make a cute symbol of 2017.

    What material to choose and how to sew a rooster with your own hands at home

    The rooster is the bright leader in any yard, so our bird will be colorful. Therefore, the material for the toy will be appropriate. We recommend using the site for the “Crooster made of fabric” toy:

    • fleece,
    • brocade,
    • colored cotton,
    • any fabric that looks rich.

    For stuffing we take padding polyester (from old jacket or pillows), ordinary cotton wool will do. If you want to make the cockerel “stand confidently on its feet,” prepare an elastic wire for the frame inserted into the legs and body.

    DIY fabric rooster patterns

    Choose the pattern you like according to your taste. We will sew according to 1 piece provided, it is simple and does not take much time.

    DIY fabric rooster pattern

    To enhance the effect and create a more “LIVE” betta, resort to using colored faux fur or feathers. Glue them on the wings and tail, the effect is amazing. Here is the pattern for a rooster with fur inserts.

    Do-it-yourself fabric rooster with fur pattern

    If the patterns are small, you can enlarge them in Photoshop or any other image editor. Then print enlarged copies and create roosters in real size. According to my pattern, the rooster will be 25 cm tall, quite enough for a souvenir.

    Instructions on how to sew a rooster with your own hands:

    • Glue the paper pattern onto thick cardboard, then trace the details onto the fabric. We make allowances of 2 cm, more or less is not necessary. Do not forget that the wings and paws must be made of the same fabric for symmetry. The second steam room will be mirrored, this is normal.


    • We check and cut out the blanks.
    • We sew the parts of the toy from the inside out, leaving 4 cm holes for stuffing. If you are doing it with a frame, insert wire. We turn the workpiece inside out, stuff it with padding polyester (in my case) and sew it up. Please note that we do not stuff the rooster's eye pads; they look more aesthetically thin.

    • If you want to make the wings move, then do not sew them on, but fasten them with large buttons (from a coat).
    • We don’t stuff the legs, then the cockerel will “sit” with its legs dangling. If the rooster is standing with a frame, form the desired position by bending the wire.

    • The eyes - I made them from 4 buttons of different diameters - large on the bottom, small on top. As an option, eyes are drawn with gel pens. You can use a bright piece of fabric and sew or hot glue the eyes.

    An extraordinary symbol of 2017 - step-by-step production of a cockerel from fabric - fur

    No less magical is the second option for making a cockerel with your own hands from fabric-fur on a wire frame.

    A set of materials will be needed as in the first case, only the fabric will be different. The manufacturing process is similar to a fabric cockerel, only it will be connected in a different sequence.

    So, let's start making a rooster step by step:

    1. Having repeated the first steps from the above, we begin to connect the blanks. First, we sew the breast, abdomen and body from the inside out, and then turn it onto the face.
    2. We sew both halves and wings. Don't forget to leave a gap under the padding polyester.
    3. Insert a thick wire (I used copper 10) into the finished body, leaving the ends for the tail and wings. Choose your size.
    4. We stuff the future symbol of 2017 and sew it together, leaving the wings empty, you can only fill them a little. We sew the body with the wings.
    5. We sew on the beak in two parts and the beard.;
    6. We make the tail from strips of fabric, sew them on one side on the front part.
    7. We thread the tail onto the frame along the way, making it fluffy.
    8. We simply create the paws by tightening a wire blank.
    9. I wrote options above about creating eyes. After which the toy will be ready.

    • felt;
    • fleece;
    • cotton;
    • calico;
    • brocade, etc.

    Any scraps of fabric you have at home will be suitable for making this toy. To decorate the rooster, we will need large buttons of different sizes, and the eyes can be borrowed from any old soft toy.

    To sew Raymond's rooster, we will need

    • textile;
    • sewing machine or thread and needle;
    • patterns;
    • padding (cotton wool, padding polyester, etc.).

    In our proposed version, the legs of the toy are made of fabric. Such a rooster can be placed on a windowsill, in a flowerpot, to decorate a work desk, etc. If desired, you can make it stand up - to do this, you need to insert a rigid wire frame into the leg parts.



    Let's start sewing toys

    • Print the patterns on a printer. All details are given in actual size, but you can enlarge or reduce them if desired.
    • Transfer the patterns to thick paper and cut out. The number of parts is indicated on the patterns themselves.
    • Attach the pieces to the scraps of fabric and cut out. We calculate the amount of material so that all paired parts are made of the same fabric (for example, the body is made of checkered felt, the wings are made of fleece, etc.). Don't forget to leave a seam allowance (1.5-2 cm).
    • We sew the parts together by hand or sewing machine, leaving a small gap for stuffing.
    • We fill all the parts with stuffing, except the legs and eyes, and sew up the gaps.
    • We connect the parts of our toy. Handsome fighting cock Raymond is ready!

    Soft toy “Peter the Cockerel”

    This toy has fewer parts than the previous one and even a novice master can make it. The craft is made from any soft material: fleece, felt, flannel, etc. The number of parts is indicated on the pattern.

    The operating algorithm is similar:

    • print and cut out the pattern pieces;
    • sew paired pieces together and fill with stuffing;
    • connect the parts to each other;
    • add decor - eyes, ribbon straws for the tail, etc.

    Tilde roosters

    Tildes are a whole trend in crafting, which was started by the master sewer from Norway Tori Finanger. Main features

    It’s easy to sew a beautiful cockerel for the New Year and Easter. It can be given as a gift, used as an interior toy, or hung on a Christmas tree, on a wall, or on a bag. And for sewing, the craftswoman will need a rooster pattern from fabric.

    Tilde toys are a charming home decoration

    The things in this technique are easy to do. You just need to remember a few important rules.

    • The toys are made from natural fabrics: linen, cotton, fleece.
    • For the body and face (muzzle, head), it is best to use plain material.
    • Clothes are made from fabric of any color, but it is preferable to use fabric with a small pattern.
    • The seam of the halves of the product should run through the middle of the face or muzzle, crossing the nose.
    • Tild dolls are traditionally made tanned using dry blush, powder, coffee, cocoa, and finely ground pencil lead to color the fabric. Sometimes masters even apply watercolor paint or gouache with a brush on already ready product. Animals that are made according to the canons of making dolls look original: tanned cockerels, hares, elephants touch with their resemblance to tildes-bathers.

    Uncover the tilde rooster

    The most important thing, without which a tilde rooster will not work, is the pattern. Having chosen the most suitable one, it should be transferred to paper, polyethylene or cardboard. Then you need to carefully cut out each piece separately with scissors.

    If for some reason the size of a fabric rooster pattern does not suit the master, he can transfer the pattern to graph paper, and then, using a grid, draw the templates on a different scale.

    Considered here interesting option interior toys. It should turn out tanned, as bathers are usually made, a tilde rooster. The pattern in the article is given in full size, but it can be enlarged if desired. The drawing shows patterns for cutting the clothes of the leader of a chicken flock.

    It should be remembered that all parts must have an allowance of 2-3 millimeters for seams. You can sew either by hand or by machine. To stuff the toy, you need to leave a hole in the most inconspicuous place, which is then sewn up manually with a hidden seam.

    Attic toy "cockerel"

    If the fabric is boiled in coffee, tea or coated with a mixture of instant coffee with cocoa powder and PVA glue before cutting, it will not only acquire a pleasant tan color, but will also retain an amazing aroma. Additionally, you can add cinnamon or vanilla to this paste. A toy sewn from the resulting fabric will not only decorate the interior, but also exude nice smell coffee, similar to what happens with toys made using the attic technique.

    For sewing, the same fabric from which it is made using the tilde toy technique, that is, close to the human figure, is suitable. You'll end up with this cool little guy with a bird's head and wings, but with wide hips and standing on long straight legs.

    To give the toy stability, before sewing on the legs and feet, wooden kebabs are inserted into the legs from below, piercing the filling. The skewers should stick into the body of the rooster and go 4-5 cm inside. You can use them not just one for each leg, but two or even three. The excess is broken off, leaving protruding ends 5-6 millimeters long for attachment to the foot.

    In order for the cockerel to stand firmly on its feet, the feet can not be sewn from fabric, but molded from polymer clay, salt dough or plaster. The not yet completely dry feet are pricked onto the protruding ends of the skewers and the toy is left in a warm place. Such a rooster will be able to stand. If the feet are made of fabric, then the cockerel will need support. It will need to be leaned against something.

    Usually such cockerels are dressed up in clothes. Attached here is a pattern of a rooster made of fabric using the technique of sewing a tilde toy - it is shaded in blue.

    Sitting cockerel - the easiest option

    But you can make a bird that looks very much like a real one. The easiest way to sew is a soft toy in the shape of a sitting cockerel. Even an inexperienced craftswoman can end up with a rooster that looks very much like a living one. of this type in the drawing above it is shaded in red.
