Handmade chickens and chicks ....

I sold a lot of these chickens last year, so I have made a few more....They were great fun to make...I thought of speckled red hens and found just the right fabric for their heads. After a sort through my fabric stash I chose the material for their bodies ...curtain weight cotton with a print that looks like feathers.I sewed a pocket on the front and popped a little chick in....All four are just about the same...

Each chicken is about 15 inches tall......





                          ..........The felt chick is about 3 1/2 inches tall..........



This is Echo with her chicken in my hall way....you can get an idea of their size....her chick is having a sleep, all tucked up in a little crochet blanket......
