A do-it-yourself felt rooster will be an excellent holiday gift for a child or relatives. The souvenir looks bright and colorful, and making it is not at all difficult. The advantage of felt is its non-woven composition. Consequently, it does not crumble or unravel during operation. Felt is easy to work with - cutting, sewing, making a pattern. Even a child can sew a felt rooster with a little help from their parents. Sometimes the threads and needle are replaced with glue, further simplifying the task. There are many options for sewing a toy, and a pattern for a felt rooster can be found on the Internet.

Felt cockerel - pattern and cutting

You can make a beautiful cockerel made of felt with your own hands only if you have a pattern. In addition, you will need the following tool:

  • Knitting threads or beads to make eyes. It is advisable to choose black color, so they will look natural.
  • Filler for stuffing.
  • Simple pencils and soap - draw on light and dark materials.
  • Scissors for cutting fabric and cutting out parts.
  • Needle and thread.
  • There are two types of felt - a thick sheet of red and yellow and a thin sheet of blue, green, orange, red and yellow.

An alternative way to make a toy pattern is to take a simple children's coloring book. The figure has clear contours and does not have overly complex elements. All details must be numbered. Print out the coloring book in two copies. From one you need to cut out all the parts with numbers. Using the second pattern we will check whether the toy matches the sample. It is worth considering the plasticity of felt. When sewn by hand, it may become slightly deformed, so it is better to sew with a sample. Master class on how to make a toy pattern:

  1. Take thick red material. Cut out the comb, paws, and top tail feather.
  2. Take the yellow material. Trace the outline of the beak, leaving an allowance. Cut out.
  3. For the second feather, take thin yellow felt. Make two copies taking into account the mirror image. Leave seam allowances along the inner edge of the product.
  4. We leave the remaining two on paper. They do not need to be cut together. Make them into a double piece of green fabric. Leave allowances along the bottom edge.
  5. Cut an identical double element from orange fabric, cut it and make two parts of the tail, mirrored. Below are seam allowances.
  6. Use green material to make two parts of the neck, mirrored to each other. Here we make allowances at the top. Set aside the green fabric - it is no longer used.
  7. From thin red felt we make mirrored elements of the beard, leaving no allowances.
  8. We do the same with the wings - two mirrored parts without allowance.
  9. The head and belly are made of blue material. We make two elements for the head and for the stomach.

The cockerel is cut out of felt.All that remains is to arrange the parts and fill it with padding polyester.
