I made the chickens and I love them. I used the polyester stuffing and they look and hang fine and very easy to push needle and jute through. Did not have to clip the hole. I’m glad I watched you first because I put the beads in a bowl. Ha!!! Thanks for the tutorial😊

Love the chickens! Thank you so much for the tutorial. This would make a great little afternoon project for our patchwork group. When my machine warns me that the bobbin is ready to run out of thread I find myself sewing quicker before it runs out! Completely illogical but I still subconsciously do it. Yiu have to laugh!

I have a set of prosperity chickens from India that I got from my mom when I first moved into my house. I have them by my window in my living room because I have cats (if that was on my door, it’d be destroyed by now because cats+bells=instant destruction). I’ve been wanting to make some for my family and now that I have the beads and bells (if you have a link for the bells, that would help too, since they’re not easy to find) it is going to happen! Thanks for the tutorial!
