The Fairy Duck Project: How to make a Fairy Duck

The Fairy Duck Project

Hello and welcome to the Fairy Duck Project. This project is designed to generate handmade Fairy Duck Dolls to children in Africa. I thought it would be nice for children who don't have very much in the way of toys, to have something beautiful to play with. So the Fairy Duck was created. If you would like to make a Fairy Duck, please send a stamp self addressed envelope to: The Fairy Duck Project PO Box 685 Bridgetown WA 6255 You will recieve a ready to sew and decorate Fairy Duck, Pattern and instructions. All we ask is that you send the completed Fairy Duck back to us and send some material and the pattern onto a friend. Our aim is to send 1,000 Fairy Ducks to Africa by the end of the year. We hope that you will enjoy the project and pass it on to your friends. A Fairy Duck can fly like a fairy and quack like a duck. She can swim like a duck and even fish for worms. However the best thing about a Fairy Duck, is that she can help make wishes come true. Goodluck.

How to make a Fairy Duck

1.Cut out body parts. You should have a head, body, wings, legs and feet.
2. Sew each head to each body
3. Place these pieces right side together ready to sew.
4. Tuck the wings inside the body and you are now ready to sew these pieces together.
5. Sew them together.
6. Turn inside out and you should have the head, body and wings assembled. Well done.
7. Put this aside while you work on the legs.
8. Sew the foot to each leg. You should now have four legs.
9. Place two legs right side together and sew.
10. Turn them inside out and stuff.
11. Repeat for the next leg.
12.To have seamless leg attachments, you need to insert the legs up through the middle of the body and sew. Leave a small section so that you can turn your Fairy Duck inside out.
13.If this is too tricky, just attach the legs to the bottom of the Fairy Duck.
14.Stuff your Fair Duck and sew up remaining seam.
15.There you have it, a beautiful hand made Fairy Duck.
16. Now, for the decorating......
