This thick chicken does not only your doors reliably open, it sits when airing also very gladly in the window.
The basic shape consists of only few parts, so the chicken is quickly sewn with the help of these instructions and with a little practice on the sewing machine.
Attach the ruffle tape to the wings by hand

It's that simple:

Enlarge the template for the body to 125%, then transfer all the templates to the fabrics with a line-Ex pen and cut them out with 0.5 cm seam allowance. Except the belly, all parts are needed twice, the feet and wattles even four times. Therefore, lay the fabrics double right on right as soon as you draw.

Cut out the comb, beak, wattles and feet with 0.5 cm seam allowance from voluminous fleece, place them on top of each other and Fabric cuts sew them together until they are turned over, then turn them over and iron them. Tack the frill tape by hand around the wings, underlay with volume fleece and sew on the body. Sew the belly right sides together between the two halves, also fixing the feet

Close the upper contour up to an opening of approx. 20 cm at the back, sewing the comb, beak and wattles tight, then turn. Place an insert of sturdy cardboard in the chicken, stuff it with cotton wool and stones so that the centre of gravity is at the bottom.

For the handle, cut a strip about 10 x 7 cm (including seam allowance) in half lengthwise and fold the edges inwards. Thread on the key ring and close the seams. Close the back seam with a mattress stitch, fixing the handle. Finally sew on wax beads as eyes.
