No pattern, no problem
 

Last weekend my DD wanted to make a stuffed toy chicken for a leadership project. I didn't have a pattern so we decided to "wing it". She did the drawing and I taught her about gussets. It was a 3 hour collaboration that resulted in . . .

FRANKENCHICKEN . . .

We had a blast making the chicken and DD loves it. She says it perfect. Needless to say we won't be publishing a stuffed chicken pattern anytime soon, but it was a great sewing lesson for her and I realized that I really do know how to sew.

Cute chicken. Without the waffle and comb, he could have been a bluebird of happiness.:)

Heh, heh, heh, auto correct strikes again - I was going for waddle not waffle.:D

I like Frankenchicken - sometimes I come up with the same and I am using a pattern. I think the collaboration sounds like a fun idea - and glad it worked out.

Sounds like a fun project and she loved it so all's well! He's cute.

AND, when you are reminiscing in years to come, or after you are gone this will be one of those memories that is cherished by DD.
I remember when my grandmother sewed for me and he talks we had wen we spent time together. Those can never be taken away!
Great Project.
Happy Day!

Frankenchicken or not , time with DD is priceless. Great memory for the future. My DD is 4 hours away so fun times are few. But we do make the most of time we do spend together. Anyway great chicken!
