Question for sewers/seamstresses ;) .. need help with a pattern/design

[Guitartists]

I'm making a stuffed rooster for my son for his birthday. It's my own pattern..... but I need input. There;s a piece that runs up the middle of the body to give it a broad chest and a rump

originally I had planned on doing just one row of tail feathers.... but am thinking now that maybe I should do two rows... counting the feathers from the top down... large blue is 1 and so forth... an thinking maybe I should do 1 of #1 but then two of # 2,3 &4... a row on each side of the belly piece. (so when you look from the back it forms an upside downV shape insted of a line)

What do you think? What would you do?

ALSO.... should I do that generic style comb or should I do a floppy leghorn style comb... or maybe even a different style than that?

Ya know I try to keep those cloth pieces out of my sewer they tend to get the toilets clogged.

Oh... not that kind of sewer...??

...Never mind.

That is too cute! We know you are going to share that pattern with us

I think 2 rows would be full and fluffy.

oH MY STARS! What an awesxome idea@ I cannot wait to see it done

Lucky little boy, talented momma.
I would do the two rows, make it a nice fat roo

As for the comb, be creative. This is a magical roo, it can be whatever you want.
How old is your son?

(who would make up a storybook about a magical roo to read to son at night as he clutches the terrific stuffed animal

I like the idea of two rows, and I definately think you should mass produce them, because I want one!!

IF the pattern is successful, of course!

It won't be the most professional... LOL, but, if all goes well I will make a PDF file for any who are interested...... here is the sketch. It has these cool huge buttons that my son loves from Walmart.... he wanted me to buy them ALL! LOL I'm putting them down the front

I am thinking of putting pockets under the wings.. for little treasures or maybe a little stuffed chick... just not sure yet.

He's turning two and he LOVES chickens! I guess I better make a bunch of different combs and try them before I choose

I made sure to buy extra fabric in case I had to change anything.

That is just too cute. I hope you'll show us the finished product!

I like the idea of the inverted V.

I'll tell you something - I made a "Pound Puppy" way back when my son was 2 and we didn't have two cents to rub together. I embroidered "just for Steven, love Mom" on the bottom before stitching it up. I remember sitting up during the night to make it and wondering if he'd like it for all the effort I had in it. He's now 25 and still has it - he took it to SandLand with him while he was there. For all I know that little dog is riding around in his police cruiser.
