Step 1: Cutting the Duck Shapes
Start by drawing the outline of your duck pattern on a piece of paper. Ensure it has a head, body, wings, and beak. Pin the pattern onto your yellow fabric and cut out two identical shapes for the body. Cut out two wing shapes from the orange fabric and a small triangular beak shape from the orange fabric as well.
Step 2: Sewing the Duck
Place the two yellow body shapes together, right sides facing each other. Pin the edges together, leaving a small opening for turning the duck right side out and stuffing it later. Use the sewing machine or a needle and thread to sew along the pinned edges, excluding the opening, with a ½ inch seam allowance. Repeat this step for the wings, leaving a small opening on each wing for turning.
Step 3: Stuffing and Assembling
Turn the duck and wings right side out through the openings. Stuff the body and wings firmly with the stuffing material. Use a needle and thread to sew the openings closed.
Step 4: Adding the Details
Cut two small circles from the white fabric for the eyes and sew them onto the duck’s head. Cut a smaller circle from the black fabric for the pupils and sew them onto the white circles. Sew the orange beak onto the head as well.
Step 5: Personalizing Your Duck
If you’d like, feel free to get creative and add your personal touch to the duck. You can sew on a ribbon bowtie, add a fabric flower, or even embroider a name or message onto the body.
