Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and of course, our porch geese need something cute to wear too!

Welcome back to Porch Goose Sewing Series, Episode 13! This time, we're making an adorable Thanksgiving outfit featuring a Scalloped A-Line Dress and Turkey Hood.

I wanted to create something simple, fun, and festive for the fall season. The scalloped edges give the dress a sweet little detail, while the turkey hood adds a playful Thanksgiving touch!

And the best part? Both pieces are surprisingly easy to make, even if you're just getting started with sewing.

As always, I'm sharing my FREE sewing pattern so you can make one for your porch goose too!

Part 1: How to Sew the Scalloped A-Line Dress

This might be one of the easiest porch goose dresses you'll ever make! With just one seam, you'll have an adorable little dress ready in no time.

Step 1: Cut the Fabric

Using the free sewing pattern, cut out the dress piece from felt

Step 2: Sew the Back Seam

Fold the dress in half with the right sides facing together, matching the back seam edges.

Stitch along the back seam using a ¼-inch seam allowance. — Stitch along the back seam using a **¼-inch seam allowance**.

Step 3: Turn Right Side Out

Turn the dress right side out and gently smooth the seam.

And that's it! Your Scalloped A-Line Dress is finished! 🥰

See? I told you it was easy!

Part 2: How to Make the Turkey Hood

Now for the fun part! Let's turn our porch goose into an adorable little turkey. 🦃

Step 1: Cut All the Felt Pieces

Using the pattern, cut out all the felt pieces for the turkey hood, including:

Hood pieces
4 comb pieces
Wattle
Snood

Step 2: Prepare the Snood

Place the snood piece on top of another piece of felt.

Stitch along the edge of the snood shape

then carefully trim away the excess felt close to the stitching line.

Optional: You don’t have to use two layers of felt! If you prefer a single-layer snood, simply cut out one snood piece and skip the stitching and trimming in this step. You can attach it directly to the hood in Step 6.

Step 3: Attach the Wattle

Position the wattle on the marked area at the center front of the hood.

Step 4: Attach the Comb and Sew the Hood

On the right side of the hood fabric, position the comb along the marked area at the top.

Place the hood layers together with the right sides facing each other, sandwiching the comb between the layers.

Stitch along the top edge using a ¼-inch seam allowance. — Stitch along the top edge using a **¼-inch seam allowance**.

Step 5: Turn Right Side Out

It's starting to look like a turkey already!

Step 6: Attach the Snood

Position the prepared snood at the center front, on top of the hood.

And there you have it! Your adorable Turkey Hood is finished! 🦃💕

Step 7: Add the Eyes (Optional)

For an extra cute detail, you can add eyes to your turkey hood!

Cut two small circles from yellow felt and attach a small black bead to the center of each circle.

Stitch the finished eyes onto both sides of the hood.

Note: I didn’t include this step in the tutorial, but it’s a fun little optional detail you can add to give your turkey hood even more personality! 🥰

Time to Dress Up Your Porch Goose!

Now it's time for my favorite part—putting everything together!

Slip the Scalloped A-Line Dress onto your porch goose, add the Turkey Hood, and look how cute it is!

I love how such a simple project can turn into something so adorable.

You can also experiment with different fall colors and fabric combinations to make your outfit unique.
