  Step 1

  What you need:

  a plain sweater;
  felt (or better yet fleece!) in 2-3 colors – one large and the others tiny;
  paper and pencil;
  scissors;
  thick thread and needle;
  tailor’s chalk or old soap bar;
  (optional) sewing machine

  Step 2

  First thing you need to do is trace the bird on a piece of paper. Then cut out the hen shape and pin it onto your larger piece of felt. Cut your felt hen and pin it to the sweater.

• 

  Step 3

  Sew the hen to the sweater, either by hand or by machine. Once you got that done, place the sweater on a flat surface and use a tailor’s chalk to trace the legs and wing of the hen. You can use thick thread to embroider them afterwards. I used white for the legs and black for the wing, for contrast.

  Step 4

  Cut out an oval piece of felt in a different color and stitch it as a beret. Use a tiny triangular piece of felt for the beak. That’s it! Enjoy your J Crew knockoff!
