  • fleece,
  • brocade,
  • colored cotton,
  • any fabric that looks saturated.

For stuffing, we take a synthetic winterizer (from an old jacket or pillow), ordinary cotton wool is also suitable. If there is a desire to make the cockerel “confidently standing on its feet”, prepare an elastic wire for the frame inserted into the paws and body.

Do-it-yourself rooster from fabric with fur pattern

If the patterns are small, you can enlarge them in Photoshop or any other picture editor. Then print enlarged copies and create roosters in real size. According to my pattern, the rooster will be 25 cm tall, quite enough for a souvenir.

Instructions on how to sew a rooster with your own hands:

  • Stick the paper pattern on thick cardboard, then trace the details on the fabric. We make allowances of 2 cm, more or less is not needed. Do not forget that the wings, paws - must be from the same fabric, for symmetry. The second steam room will be mirrored, this is normal.


  • We check and cut the blanks.
  • We sew the details of the toy from the inside, leaving 4 cm holes for stuffing. If you are doing with a frame, insert the wire. We turn the workpiece inside out, stuff it with padding polyester (in my case) and sew it up. Pay attention - we don’t fill the rooster’s undereyes, they look more aesthetically thin.

  • If there is a desire to make the wings moving, then do not sew them on, but fasten them on large buttons (from the coat).
  • We don’t stuff the paws, then the cockerel will “sit” with its legs hanging down. If the rooster is standing with the frame, form the desired position by bending the wire.

  • Eyes - I made from 4 buttons of different diameters - large at the bottom, small at the top. Alternatively, the eyes are drawn with gel pens. You can use a bright piece of fabric and sew or glue the eyes onto the hot glue.

Rooster tilde

Thanks to Norwegian sewing master Tori Finanger, tilde dolls have received worldwide recognition. For the manufacture of which pastel soft fabrics are used, in addition, they are characterized by primitivism of execution and their eyes are always made in the form of dots.

According to the Chinese calendar. It is not surprising that the housewives try to decorate the house with the image of this vociferous bird! Figurines, toys, Christmas balls and kitchen utensils in the form of roosters instantly fly off store shelves. We offer to save on purchases and make a miracle bird from improvised materials.

Knowing how to sew at a basic level, you will create a cute designer toy in just a few hours! Just be patient and follow the instructions. Ask your children or your husband for help - it's more fun to create together. A funny cockerel will complement an apartment or a workplace, and after the holidays it will “register” for a long time in a children's room or on a kitchen shelf.

Cockerel-antistress

The peculiarity of this toy is that it is pleasant to squeeze it, thereby calming the nerves. Work on the craft will take no more than 30 minutes and even a child can do it (naturally, under parental control). A funny cockerel will take root at home or in the office. The craft looks great on surfaces: shelves, window sills, cabinets. To create a toy will come in handy:

  • plain or colored cotton fabric
  • pieces of red and yellow felt
  • filler: sintepuh, synthetic winterizer, collection of fragrant herbs or buckwheat
  • matching thread, needle and scissors
  • buttons for the eyes and other decor

Step-by-step instructions for creating an anti-stress cockerel

Make a pattern in the form of a rectangle, the length of which is twice the width (for example, 14 by 28 ss). From red and yellow felt, cut out a comb, beak and beard. Lay the cutouts on the blank, securing them with pins for convenience. Then fold the fabric in half and sew by hand or machine. Fasten the thread and turn the toy right side out.

Stuff the cockerel with the stuffing of your choice. After that, fold the edges of the fabric inward and sew a seam over the edge, connecting the two halves. Sew on button eyes and, if desired, make long legs of red thread for the cockerel. Decorate the craft with embroidery, felt appliqué or buttons. Attach a loop to the comb, for which you can hang the toy from the Christmas tree. Make birds of different sizes and colors to make a cock family.

Cockerel in the style of "tilde"

Tilda is a popular toy making technique. Cloth dolls are recognizable by their small head with beady eyes, thin and long limbs, muted skin colors and clothes. Tildas play the role of toys and decor at the same time. They are perfect for country style interiors. Most tildes are figures of girls and women. But in this technique they make different characters, including animals. To make such a cockerel, as in the photo, prepare everything you need:

  • fabric in three colors: for the body, details (comb, earrings and paws) and clothes
  • paper, pencil, scissors
  • stuffing (synthetic winterizer, sintepuh, holofiber)
  • needle and thread to match
  • black acrylic paint
  • wooden stick (for example, for sushi) or tweezers
  • decor (buttons, ribbons).

Let's dwell on the fabrics for the tilde. Special materials for sewing dolls are sold abroad. In the absence of such matter, use not very thin fabrics of natural origin: two-thread linen, coarse calico, cotton, chintz, poplin, cotton spandex. Doll outfits are most often made from materials with a pattern, plaid or polka dots. For the body of the cockerel, beige fabric is suitable, for the comb and paws - red. However, experiments will not be superfluous.

So, to work! Transfer the pattern to the fabric and cut out the details. Instead of a jumpsuit, you can make another outfit - for example, a knitted sweater and bloomers. But back to the bird. Sew a beak to the head, smooth the seam. Attach wings without holes for eversion to the sides. Grab the beak along the edges so that when connecting the parts, the fabric does not move out.

Sew the body of the rooster, get rid of excess fabric on the beak and temporary seams. Connect all the elements of the toy: paws, feet (with a hole for eversion), comb and beard (with a hole for eversion). Turn out the details. Make holes in the wings for this purpose. Using a wooden stick or tweezers, fill the toy with padding polyester.

Stuff the paws to half, fix one edge with a stitch and attach the feet to it with a hidden seam. Fill the legs to the brim and sew to the body with the same blind seam. Sew the holes on the wings, decorate with small buttons and attach to the sides of the rooster. Do the same with the comb. Add a beard. Dip a toothpick in black acrylic paint and dot the eyes.


Step-by-step instructions for creating a tilde cockerel

Well, the most interesting thing is the decor. Tildas are distinguished by bright pink cheeks, which are painted with the help of rouge in balls. As already mentioned, the choice of outfit is yours. We settled on a jumpsuit, the details of which are shown in the pattern. Wrap the edges of the legs so that the fabric does not fray. Turn and iron the apron. Cut the tape in half - the harnesses will come out. Sew them to the apron, pass through the holes in it and fasten with a blind seam.

Decorate the edges of the apron with buttons and sew it to the pants at a distance of 0.7-0.8 cm from the border of the workpiece. Unscrew the apron and wrap the edges of the fabric, except for the place where the apron is attached. Pass the elastic, fix it with pins and sew. Add straps. Draw tucks at the bottom of the trousers. Can you knit? Then make a sweater or scarf for the rooster, or decorate his neck with a bow. Put clothes on the doll, add New Year's "accessories" to taste.

Patchwork rooster


A simple and cute cockerel made from scraps of fabric

The essence of style is to combine the incongruous. All items are created from scraps of fabric of different colors and textures. Checked, striped or patterned materials are especially popular. Such a cockerel will be excellent. We warn you right away: working on a toy requires a full hand and a lot of time. Prepare materials:

  • dense fabrics (felt, fleece, cotton, chintz, brocade) of different colors
  • stuffing for toys (synthetic winterizer, sintepuh, cotton wool)
  • thick wire frame, if you want the rooster to stand firmly on its paws
  • small buttons
  • needle and thread
  • a sheet of white A3 cardboard, a pencil or felt-tip pen, scissors

Transfer the pattern to cardboard, increasing the size of the details. Circle the elements along the contour, leaving an allowance for the seams - 1.5-2 cm. It is better to make paired parts (paws, wings) from the same fabric. Turn the other half over so that it comes out in a mirror image. Cut out all the elements and connect the half to each other from the back. Make a small hole for stuffing the toy.
