Owl Softie

He loves it.

I love that he loves it.

Makes me feel like I’m a good Mom.

Silly, isn’t it.

I got the pattern from this site here.

And this is how I did it.

First I cut out all my shapes:

Then I pinned them all together on a piece of green fabric:

I used a Zig-Zag stitch to go around all the edges:

I did all except for the wings, leaving them open:

Then I put in some crinkly wipes packaging for a little noise maker. I stuffed it in the sewed it up:

Then I cut around the owl, leaving about 1/2 inch for the seam allowance:

Next I traced around the brown fabric that I wanted for the back of the owl:

Since I wanted a few ribbon taggies on the owl, I cut them from ribbon, and pinned them to the owl like in the photo:

Finally I put right sides of the owl and the backing together, sewed all the way around and left a hole for turning it right side out:

I stuffed him up a bit, then sewed him closed.

I like how he turned out, he looks a little “Girly” for Monkey, but overall I’m pretty happy!
