Put all the fingers on the workpiece and sew them together. From the bottom, sew the foot to all the fingers. And on top, sew the shin (the end of the part with 5 increases is sewn to the fingers). Make the second leg the same way. Stick the wire into the body so that the chicken stands by itself. If the ends of the wire come out on its back, you need to shorten them. Sew the shin to the body of the little chicken.
