- You might want to check out the pattern books at your local sewing stores.
- One of the big names (Simplicity, Butterick or McCall's) has a chicken pattern
- (I don't see a chicken listed below) that a friend of mine made. Of course, if
- you are after very realistic patterns, these may not be what you want. I also
- have seen some pretty nice and more unusual and realistic stuffed animal
- patterns in the Vogue books.
-
- Hope this helps!
