Crafty Corner: Hoot, Hoot!

Ok, so having a sewing machine is becoming more and more fun each day! Last week, I was almost dozing off into sleepy dream land when an idea popped into my head.

My little sister is just a few weeks away from having her first baby (a cute little girl) and I wanted to make her something fun with my newly acquired skills.

I am a bit obsessed with owls right now (anyone else? What is with that? They are just so cute...I want to buy anything I see with an owl on it these days) and a possible vision of magic (maybe, if it turned out) came to me in my almost sleep....

I am going to make her an owl...that is, for my new baby niece. Could I pull this off? Not sure, but I made a plan and just went for it:

Supplies:

An example/some inspiration:

A makeshift pattern:

Go:

That's how it all went down....and I was so excited with the end result:

Hey Mr. Owl. I like you! Definitely more little woodland creatures to come in my future crazy sewing adventures...stay tuned:)
