Flying Ducks: February 2013
http://myflyingducks.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Bunny skirt and spotty dress. This weekend I used some bunny fabric to make a simple gathered skirt (in the same style I've made countless times). I'd intended on making a different pattern, but I knew the gathered skirt would suit the fabric well. A few weeks ago I also made another version of the Sew La Tea Do. Miss Marlo pattern (used for my skull dress. And also this pocket dress. Posted by Kylie C. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Flying Ducks featured on other websites. Apartment Therapy house call.

Flying Ducks: December 2012
http://myflyingducks.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
I bought some fabric in the Spotlight post-Christmas sales, including this skull fabric. Mr C did not quite understand my choice of 'boy' fabric, but I figured I would make it look 'girly' as a skirt or a dress. I wanted to have a go at using bias binding for my neck and arm holes (instead of bothering with facings), so I decided to try it on the Miss Marlo dress from Pip's Sew La Tea Do. Book (I've previously used the same pattern for the dress and top in this post. Posted by Kylie C. And add the collar...

Flying Ducks: October 2011
http://myflyingducks.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Last night, after many months of no sewing (about ten months, actually), I decided to make a dress. I don't know if that means I'm officially 'old'. Ten years ago I would not have predicted that I'd be sewing late on a Saturday night! I decided to pull out my Sew La Tea Do. Book and make Pip's. Fabulous sunny day dress, as I'm sure it will be a good thing to have on hand in summer. I had just enough candy-stripe material in my stash (thanks to my friend Irene. Overall, this was a really.

Flying Ducks: April 2013
http://myflyingducks.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
I made the best dress ever. It's true. We can all stop trying now. Last weekend I made this. It fits perfectly and it's super cute. I'm not sure it can be beaten. This pattern is New Look 6020. You see that 'Easy' label? The skirt fabric was chosen by Mr C. As it's a heavy drill, I didn't want to use it for the bodice like I did for my apple dress. Which unfortunately has facing that sometimes rolls to the outside due to the weight). I used a black poplin instead, and this worked perfectly. Kylie P Chall...

Flying Ducks: Japanese cotton sateen skirt
http://myflyingducks.blogspot.com/2012/11/japanese-cotton-sateen-skirt.html
Japanese cotton sateen skirt. I recently purchased a few cheap New Look patterns online, but didn't have any suitable fabrics for them. A visit to Spotlight and $98 later, I ended up with an assortment of designs that I could instantly picture as dresses and skirts. I decided that the red and cream Japanese cotton sateen floral print would work perfectly as a skirt, and cut out the pieces for view D of this (minus the bows). Posted by Kylie C.

Flying Ducks: Mustard pear top with collar
http://myflyingducks.blogspot.com/2012/12/mustard-pear-top-with-collar.html
Mustard pear top with collar. Included in my fabric haul from Spotlight last week was some mustard-coloured cotton with a white pear print. I originally planned to make a skirt with it, but yesterday wondered how it would look as a top with a Peter Pan collar. I didn't have a pattern for such a thing, so I decided to adapt this top. And add the collar myself. After scouring my pattern books, I found the perfect collar design in a book of 1980s kids' party dresses. Posted by Kylie C. Good job, you! Lookin...

Flying Ducks: March 2012
http://myflyingducks.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
A couple of months ago, I purchased some lovely material on sale at The Fabric Store. And made this top. With some of it). In addition to the green-and-white checked fabric, I also got this very lightweight striped cotton. After trawling through my patterns, I've decided that the best design to use would be the tried-and-true gathered skirt that I've made a few times (including for my first ever sewing project. The question I now have for others now is: will this work? Posted by Kylie C. Apartment Therap...

Flying Ducks: Candy stripe skirt
http://myflyingducks.blogspot.com/2012/10/candy-stripe-skirt.html
Yesterday Mr C was being crafty, so I decided to make good use of my own time and make a skirt. I'd had this fabric cut for over a year but never bothered to sew it, which meant that it only took me a couple of hours to pull the skirt together. Where all of your button purchases help to feed kids at the Foundation18 orphanage in Indonesia). Posted by Kylie C. October 15, 2012 at 7:24 AM. Naww, that is lovely, Timmins! It suits you perfectly! October 31, 2012 at 11:54 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
