Pattern preview – Mr. & Mrs. Joyful duck
Posted under Crafting . Sewing | 38 Comments
I actually had this post in my draft list for a very long time, and since hopefully I’ll finish the tutorial section for this pattern soon, I wanted to show you all one of the patterns I worked on while in vacations.
I made them using some leftover fleece and stuffed them with my old t-shirts scraps. I designed the pattern so with just a few adjustments the little duck can be sitted or laying down, and also an optional bow clip or tie =] I had so much fun making them, I think they could be great Christmast presents!
So let me introduce you Mr. & Mrs. Joyful duck, they are a very soft couple that love kids and pets =] and if you want to go the extra mile, you can leave the bottom with a button to have a little bag filled with rise and cinnamon so you can microwave them and heat it up for cold nights, Curly has one now!
I am hoping to list the pattern next week, it has 2 variations (standing or laying down) and it will be a downloable multipage PDF file so you can enlarge it in case you want =] I hand sewed mine, one on the inside and one on teh outside so I can show how cute they look both ways!
I hope you guys like them =]

These ducks are adorable! My niece is having a little boy soon and I would love to make these for her and him. I am eagerly awaiting the pattern. I even saw fleece at the fabric store for $1 / yard so I may go pick some up just for the ducks.
Just wondering if you’ve posted the pattern yet?
I want a duckie, she says in a baby voice. They have so much personality, just like you, smiles. Gosh…you are sooo talented. I’m so happy, no, joyful, to have found you. I’m looking so forward to the Mr. and Mrs. Duck tutorials. Hugs!

Also came across your site today looking for a duck pattern this would be perfect – any chance you will do this pattern this year – pretty please ;0)
No rush intended. I am a 14 year old girl who LOVES to make stuffed animals! I’m making a my little pony right now
and I was just wondering when the tutorial will be out? I LOVEEE Your work 
Please don’t ever quit your blog 
I am not sure since I checked my images and I need to re-take all of them, so now that I finish the instructions I need all the images again and that takes more time than what I have available now, it’s definitely in my list tho.
