My mother spent time in a TB conveyancing hospital in the 1940s and filled her time making toys and handicrafts. When she died, I discovered a box of cardboard patterns made from cereal boxes and held together with string or safety pins. No instructions. Just the name of each toy in her hand writing.
Dilly comes from this box and once I had worked out how to make her I updated the design to make it my own.

Full description
This cute cuddly Duck stands 170mm / 6.5 ins high x 160mm (6 ins Wide).
The instructions are a step-by-step guide through the making process of making a cute little Duck. They take you from cutting out your paper pattern pieces to adding embroidery details onto the duck’s body. There are simple straightforward text instructions which are accompanied by full colour photographs at every step.
Included within the kit are:
- 20 pages of instructions in full colour that guide you step by step through the Duck’s construction.
- 1 piece of 1mm thick, white wool felt, 280mm x 400mm (12 ins x 16ins).
- 1 Piece of 1mm thick orange wool felt, 200mm x 100mm (4 ins x 12ins).
- 1 Piece of 1mm Pale Pink or Baby Blue or Lilac wool felt, 110mm x 40mm.
- Embroidery threads in black, orange, (pink or blue or lilac), grey and white.
- 2 white buttons.
- Polyester toy filling.
- 2 needles, an embroidery needle, and a long toy needle.
- Set Dressmaking pins.
- Water soluble marker pen.
You will need to provide:
- A pair of fabric scissors and a pair of paper scissors
- A blunt tool to help pack the filling into the duck’s body. My favourite tool is an unsharpened pencil with an eraser on the end or a chopstick.
- A cup of tea and a piece of cake
Skill Level: advanced beginner / intermediate sewer.
Happy Sewing
