COVER FOR DISHES "CHICKEN"

Send

An interesting idea for decorating a festive table for Easter! Such a chicken can temporarily hide a vase with sweets or pastries “under its wing”, and at the end of the dinner give your guests a pleasant surprise. The use and application of this bag is very wide: you can pack souvenirs or sweets, use it as a cover for dishes (cups, low bottles, saltwort and others), as well as as a bag for storing herbs and spices.

Sewing a cover requires the following materials:
• fabric for the base (dense, which will hold its shape well);
• two different materials for creating wings and beak (white plus orange);
• red yarn for scallops, some white and violet threads for the tail of the chicken (“plumage” always matches the color of the wings and warp);
• scissors;
• needle with a big eye;
• two beads for the eyes (can be replaced with large beads);
• polymer glue;
• strong cord (for tightening).

Create a bird's outline on paper (the size is arbitrary, it depends on the amount of fabric or your own preferences), also draw a wing.

Circle the large workpiece twice on the wrong side of the fabric, mirroring the parts, and cut out with allowance for seams.

Before you start stitching the base, you need to take care of additional details (because they also need to be included in the work at the initial stage of sewing). Therefore, scallop should be made next.
To do this, cut out a small, even square from the rest of the fabric, fold it in half and sew it thickly with red yarn, forming protruding loops.

The tail has the same structure, but combines two colors: white (wing color) and purple (base color). In size, it exceeds the crest by 2 times.

Once the comb, beak and tail are ready, you can proceed to the main task - stitching the base. Two of its parts must be folded inward with the face and sewn with the reverse stitch. When you reach the tail area, place a wide blank between the base parts with the fluffy side inward and sew along with them.

Sew in the comb as well, placing it on the top of the head.

Beak last "put in place" and, as shown below, point inward.

Next, on a white cloth, circle the paper wing on both sides and carefully cut out both painted parts (but no allowance).

Take the thread, beads for the eyes and glue.

Eyes are best sewn, but the wings can be glued.

It remains to draw the thread into the hollow bottom seam. This thread will fix the position of the chicken and change it depending on your needs.

That's so simple and fast you can make an interesting holiday attribute. It will complement the children's holiday, serve as a means of storing cutlery during a picnic, and even replace the thermos, covering food from the sun or vice versa, preventing them from quickly cooling off in the air.
