“Sew fine fat hens for easter”
“Easter softest hens turn quickly together at the sewing machine. Sew several small hens and let them sit in a group and brood on their wide butts.”
“seam allowance: 1 cm included in the specified dimension”
“1. Thin cotton fabrics is enhanced by stroking is fixed a layer of fusible web against the wrong side of the fabric. Place the hen’s eyes in each corner along one long side, 3 cm in from the outer edges. The eyes can be black buttons sewn fixed, the eyes can also be painted with standard black hobbyfärg. A small white dot painted in each eye, gives you more life.”
“2. Fold the hen’s beak out of the orange felt. The bib is folded as a U-shaped loop of the short, red filtremsan. Tuck the bib inside the beak and basting fixed at tygstyckets one of the corners, along the short edge.”
“3. Comb – at bomullstygets other corners, add the long red filtremsan in three arcs in a line, along the long edge.”
“4. Fold ?the cotton fabric is to the body twice, right side against right side and sew with a straight stitch along two of the sides and around the corners where the beak and the comb positioned. Cut away some of the seam allowance with a diagonal cut in the corner.”
“5. The side of the fabric that is still open, is folded so that the seam allowance is positioned in the middle of a paragraph instead. Draw with a pencil a curved line in the two corners. Sew together the paragraph with a straight stitch around the two rounded corners, but leave an opening in the middle, at least 8 cm long. Cut away part of the seam at the rounded corners.”
“6. Turn the chicken in and out. Stop with the batting until the chicken feels firm and nice. Do you want to have a little weight in the chicken, so that she sits steadily, you sew a small tygkudde, about 10×10 cm. Leave a small opening. Pour a little bit of small round stones (available in the flower shops) in the bag. The pillow should still be loose and a little wobbly. Sew together.”
“Stop in the bag, last, put it against the hen’s stomach and then sew again to the opening.”
