Great project, love these, you could also stuff them with lavender to hang on a coat hangar. I might make some as memory chickens from my late Father's shirts ❤️
I cannot believe how simple these were to make! And thank you for the history and showing us how to string them together. This is a fun project I can make with my granddaughter as I'm trying to gently get her into sewing.
everyone that sees my prosperity hens wants one... I'm having so much fun putting these together... Thank you Thank you Thank you... you're a joy to watch
When I first started listening to quilting video, Sew Becca talked about "Winning at Bobbin Chicken" then someone called leaders "Hairy Larrys" can't remember who. 😂
Oh, I need to make these for my sister. She thinks she wants real chickens. Everyone keeps telling her they are a lot of work and our neighborhood wildlife would get a tasty meal! She has some chicken decor in her kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
Dear Nikkie. I must say: you have completely changed my sewing life!! Starting with the improv houses and the wonky blocks, we move on to these chickens…😍 You are such a wonderful teacher and the provider of so much inspiration! Thank you for making this happen. Wishing you all the prosperity and blessings for you and your family from the Netherlands.
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😊
I was playing thread chicken today! Sewing with my left hand on the seam and the right hand holding the last bit of thread so I knew when it was about to run out. Finished with 6" left - yay I won 😂
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! Best wishes, Diana xxx (from the UK)
Great job showing us this, and the little history of the meaning behind them. I am a senior, but had never seen these until fairly recently. I love chickens and have lots of scraps!❤ thank you I am enjoying your vlogs very much,you explain things very well, and you have a sweet personality!
These are from India. Very commonly sold . Those mirrored fabrics and embroidered ones is a give. We hang around doors. Not 1940s. Love all your tutorials. Am starting kids sewing classes inspired by you. And i am getting good response. I am mainly a quilter ❤
I love these little prosperity hens! A great project for using up scraps. Will be making some to go on my sister in laws charity stall. She raises money for Parkinson’s UK Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the UK❤️🇬🇧
My kitchen is done in roosters and a few hens. I have some really cool large paper beads I created and love, but could never quite figure out what to do with. Lol. Prosperity chickens and paper beads it is! I’ve never heard of prosperity hens before, but I just like chickens in general. This is such a simple idea. Thank you!
These are so stinkin cute.i started mine earlier tonight...its now passed midnight..and cant bring myself to put it all away and finish it tomorrow...i love this pattern. So easy! Thank you... very much!❤
This is so adorable! I just cut up some leftover batting into stuffing size, and that would be a perfect way to use it up. Thanks for taking the time to make this wonderful tutorial.
Love the history of the prosperity chickens. They are so fun and I’m going to make some for gifts and housewarming gifts. I’m going to use small bells between the chickens. Thank you for sharing. Your chickens turned out adorable.
This is so adorable, and thank you for letting us know the meaning of those chicken hangers. I ordered a lot of 5 inch squares, so I have plenty of fabric to make chickens. I think a lot of the family will get those chickens for Christmas.
Wow 🤩 Thank you so much for your video I Purchased the pattern Going to make them with a couple of friends I have a bout 10 chickens in my backyard ❤❤❤
I've always loved real chickens, now I don't have to feed them and clean out the coop. I' m making enough chickens for everyone in my family. Great for using up my leftover charm pack squares. They are so cute. Thank you
I just inherited 6 used fiber filled pillows... Going to make fish instead to suit a theme. I think half quarters would be a good source of you didn't have scraps
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create all those prosperity chickens, I think they’re super cute and adorable too. I’m definitely going to try this out. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
I've played chicken on cross-stitch and needlepoint projects, too - especially nerve-wracking because if you have to buy more floss it might not match the dye lot you've been using 😬...and you were sure you had more than enough, so what happened?!? These chickens are much easier than I thought they would be! I also thought their name was related to the Great Depression and the idea of prosperity being a "chicken in every pot." Who knew what dreams of fulfillment in life are represented by chickens 😄?!?
I did it babe❣️ I’m a real real non sewing beginner and I just made my hens. So stinkin proud. Ty again for sharing.
Way to go! 🙌🏻

Honestly, when I finally inspected it, I couldn’t believe it was just squares lol 😂
Debbi here~I am also trying to gently nurture my granddaughter into sewing! I think I will try this with her also!
everyone that sees my prosperity hens wants one... I'm having so much fun putting these together... Thank you Thank you Thank you... you're a joy to watch
I won my thread chicken a few days ago, right down to about 3/4" of thread left. YAY 😅
Woohoo! 🎉🐓🧵
These chickens are truly adorable. You’ve given me so many sewing ideas. Now I’m off to sew hens! 🐓❤🐓
I've never heard of these but they're adorable. Going to make them for my daughters

My mom had a set of these since the 90's and now I have it. I had no idea it had a name! Now I feel like I should make some for my siblings ❤❤❤
You definitely should 😁

Thank you so much!!! I’ve made 8 since you posted this video. I ordered my bells and they will be here today! Scrappy Prosperity Hens! 🎉❤😊
Where did you order bells from. I don’t have a craft store close💕Thank you😊
Oh boy I got some material to make the chickens and pumpkins. Thank you for putting them on you Etsy. Yeah. Happy sewing
Thank you so much! I have admired your chickens for so long! ❤
I luv this video. I’m making some now. Getting a bell is harder than chickens to make. Lol.
@@Brenda-r7t I'm thinking of adding an egg 🥚 in its place
Cute pattern. Finally I have a use for my bits of cotton batting that I save.
I've got lots of Tilda scraps that would make some pretty chooks 💕

How cute after these! Tx
Thank you. I really do enjoy your videos, projects, and the patterns I have purchased.
Thank you so much! 🤗
I made something similar with origami paper cranes, but love scrappy sewing projects too! I will definitely be making some of these for gifts!
I love these little chickens!
Wonderful tutorial! I had to chuckle, though, every time you called the hen you were working on "him." 🤣😂🤣
Haha! Whoops 😂
I have a set I inherited. I’m happy to know the background!. I plan to make a set for my daughter. Thank you!
I just inherited 6 used fiber filled pillows... Going to make fish instead to suit a theme. I think half quarters would be a good source of you didn't have scraps
Half of a fat quarter which is generally the 18 x 21 size, is what’s called a fat eighth. They are generally 9“ x 21“. Happy sewing your fish!
Love these!!
Loved it. I'm definitely getting the pattern ❤. I'm making 8 Christmas elves from your pattern now😂
Wow, eight! Way to go 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
OMGosh! I've been wanting to make these for years! I even have the "rusty" brass bells for them! Thank you so much for your tutorial!

I love these hens! They will be my weekend project. And I love your videos. The beads rolling around makes me feel so understood!!
I love these hens, great tutorial!
Absolutely love these, awesome history. Excellent Xmas gifts! Thank you so much! Love your videos.
For the stringing of the birds and beads, set up on a towel to minimize misbehaving beads rolling off the table❤
Great idea
Adorable. Looks like a good project to work on while listening to an audio book. Tfs.
I’m making these today!! Thanks for the easy tutorial 🙂
Love this, so gonna make some. fingers crossed for prosperity xx
