Free Chicken Apron/Saddle Pattern

I haven't been on this site in ages but came looking for advice on making a protector for one if my chooks who is barebacked and featherless winged. She is getting very red on the shoulders and wing tips, the summer sun is beginning here and it's burning her. After reading and seeing others jackets I quickly ran up a bikie chick jacket in soft stretchy denim with wing caps. She wasn't keen on having it put on due to her tender skin and jagged feather sheath ends but once on she is very happy.

Can you give me some fabric dimensions, I love this Apron and will be duplicating it. I'm going to use a pair of old heavy Duck type canvas jeans that are lined with a heavy Flannel. The were a really tough jean and super warm. Heir in northern Ontario Canada it gets kinda cold. It still hasn't drooped below -9C but we've been really close some days and I don't give them heat lights at night so I wanted something that would keep her worm at night.

oh my, hadn't been back here since I posted that. I ended up having g to modify it as it was too wide, All my chickens are different sizes,one size won't fit all. I measured across her back to determine where to cut slits for her wings, I also had to cut deeper in at bottom so she could access her gland at base of tail, Miss porcupine is finally growing in new feathers took ages
