Each kid who comes to the party will get their very own owl for carrying messages to family and friends when at school. Hen and I hit Fabric Depot about a week ago and agreed on two different flannel materials to use for said owls. I used the Silhouette machine Megan gave me when she bought the fancier one to cut out an owl to use as my pattern. We are talking the most minimalist owl you have ever seen. I still haven't figured out the beak (felt, maybe?) so Hen's Hedwig is currently without one but I'll figure it out and promise all owls will be as complete as I intend them to be.
 |
| 2 pieces of 1/4 yd cotton flannel in different patterns, one owl cutout to use as pattern, corresponding thread |
 |
| I traced the owl on the material and pinned it with the right sides together. |
 |
| I cut out the owl and sewed the pieces together using a 1/4" seam allowance and leaving a hole at the bottom. |
 |
| I turned it inside out so right sides were showing. Note: The hole I left at the bottom should have been larger. |
 |
| I stuffed the owl. |
 |
| I added the eyes. I made two attempts at adding the beak using leftover material from previous projects but was unhappy with both. I will figure this out. Oh, yes, I will. |
