You Will Need (10 things)

  • Patterned Fabric
  • Felt
  • Felt
  • Silk Embroidering Thread
  • Some Felt
  • Button(s)
  • Felt
  • Felt
  • Embroidery Thread
  • Stuffing

Steps (10 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Draw an arch shape to be as big as you want the body of your owl to be, on a scrap piece of paper. Cut it out and choose what fabric you will use for the body.

  2. 2

    Fold the patterned fabric in half with the right side inside and pin the owl template to it. Draw round the template in a pencil or pen, it should be faint but seeable.

  3. 3

    Cut around the template but cut 1cm around.

  4. 4

    On the line you have drawn sew a running stitch around the arch but leave the bottom end open so we can stuff the owl.

  5. 5

    Make a few snips round the curve of the owl, dont cut too far or you may cut your stitches by accident.
    This helps when you turn your owl inside out.

  6. 6

    Turn the owl the right way and stuff with soft toy stuffing, cotton wool or even scraps of unwanted fabric.

  7. 7

    Sew up along the bottom edge with an over and over stitch.

  8. 8

    Cut out a heart shape for in felt for the owls face. I use white/ cream for the contrast.

  9. 9

    Then sew on two buttons for eyes and a felt beak.

  10. 10

    Sew the face onto the owl.
