Katy of No Big Dill is hosting Chapter 3 of her series ‘Once Upon A Thread’ at the moment. There will be three whole weeks of sewing inspired by children’s books and I am thrilled to be doing my first ever guest post over there today.
I chose the childhood classic ‘The Ugly Duckling’ and made some T-shirts with puppet sleeves, just what every child wants on their T-shirt. I know what you’re thinking, not another duck project, that’s three in almost as many weeks, but I promise I’m not normally duck obsessed.
You can check out my post and tutorial here. There will be lots of people sewing along and if you want to join in there’s a Flickr group to upload your photos to. You don’t have to make clothing, it just needs to be sewn and inspired by a children’s book.

So clever and FUNNY! And great photos as per usual.
These are SO cute! You are such a talented sewer and baker 🙂
I was so stoked to see you on No Big Dill! Exciting!! And I love the puppet sleeves – I could see turning sleeves into a variety of animal puppets using this basic method. Such a cool idea!
Couldn’t leave a comment on your guest blog as they wouldn’t allow me to put my details in… weird.
Anyway, totally gorgeous. Pics and project. Utterly delightful. x
So cool! What a fun idea. I was dying to see what you did for OUT. Love it!
