DIY The Nightmare Before Christmas Duck

Make this Halloween toy duck from paper mache and clay. The base is cleverly made out of cardboard and bottle caps for the wheels.

The left photo is a still from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the right is the DIY version. (collage from The Surpriseaholic).

Find the tutorial for the DIY Nightmare Before Christmas Duck from The Surpriseaholic here.

And since I couldn’t find a GIF of the duck from The Nightmare Before Christmas, I made one using imgur.com and ezgif.com.

Tosti Utility jacket turns to trad style winter duffle coat!

Just sewed up my new version of the Tosti jacket! This pattern was originally designed as utility jacket (or Safari jacket), but I re-made this as a traditional style duffle coat for the winter. You can see the original version of the Tosti photos here or here. Also, check all the cool versions of the Tosti from customers here.

The ease of this pattern is less as a winter coat, since this is intended to be sewn with thinner fabrics like gabardine or denim. So I made with one size bigger pattern. If you want to make Tosti as a winter coat or use thick fabrics, please consider about the sizing. I also add the length +2cm, and delete the chest and sleeve pockets.

The shell fabric is my favourite plaid pattern wool. Actually, it is quite thin and not suitable for winter. So I tried interlining with cotton for add extra bodice and warmth. Interlining is not difficult if the fabric is easy to handle, just takes times and patience. Off course, the result was very effective.

The lining is nice and soft faux fur with comfy texture. I really love this, even if it needs extra care to sew. The sleeve parts are quilted lining, so we need slippy texture here. Also, I added the fur trim to the hood for make it cuter.(The tutorial how to sew fur trim for Tosti is here)

For the finishing touch, I added toggle buttons instead of metal snaps. The closures for the detachable hood are also normal buttons instead of the snaps.

Thanks for the details it turned to a winter coat as I planned. I’m basically very happy with the result.

Free Seam Pocket sewing pattern and Tutorial

Here is a free pattern with step by step photo instruction for a seam pocket with facing! It’s perfect size for the Brownie Dress and the Snowball Dress from Waffle Patterns, but It’s also very versatile, so you can apply it to any other garment like jackets or coats. Download Free Seam Pocket Sewing Pattern here!

How to Sew Seam Pocket with facing

I’m explaining about facing type pocket here, but the pattern includes no-facing type, too. So, if you don’t need facings, choose a “No facing type” pattern and skip the pocket pouch back step.

1. Cut the parts and put the markings as the pattern indication. Don’t forget to put marks of the pocket open on the skirt (or other garment you make). Mark the same width of the pocket, using the pocket pattern piece. Put interfacing on the pocket open place of the Front and Back skirt. *The photo shows only right side parts, please double them for L/R sides pockets. *I use square shaped fabric pieces instead of the skirt for the explanation.

1. Place the Pocket Pouch Back and the Pocket Facing pieces right sides together, match the marks and sew. 2. Press the seam to the Pocket pouch side.

1. Before sewing the skirt seam, press and crease the seam lines as finished shape around the pocket open.

2. Place the Front and Back Skirt pieces right sides together. Sew the side seam until the pocket open notches. Keep opening the pocket open. 3. Press the seam open.

1. Align the edges of the Pocket Pouch Front and the seam of the Front Skirt both wrong sides up, putting the notches together. 2. Sew the front skirt seam and the pocket Pouch Front with 6mm(1/4″) seam allowance, between stitch line notches. Don’t sew the Skirt body.

3. Press the pocket to the front of the skirt. 4. Top stitch the pocket open from the right side.

1. Align the edges of the Pocket Pouch Back and the seam of the Back Skirt both wrong sides up, putting the notches together. Sew the seam with 12mm(1/2″) seam allowance (or as much as close to the skirt seam, don’t stitch inside the seamline. ), between stitch line notches, same as the pocket pouch front. Don’t sew the Skirt body. *Use a zipper foot if your fabric is thick.

1. Double stitch the Front and Back Pocket Pouch edge. If you don’t put lining, finish the pocket edge with zig-zag stitch or serger.

Turn the bodice to the right side. Top stitch or bar-tack the both sides of the pocket open.

***** Voila! ******
