Oh yes, I've been busy sewing again!
My brain has been swimming with creative projects lately (as the newborn fog starts to lift).. and I've been eager to pound out some fun projects.
What a hooooot!
A friend had recently asked about commissioning me to make some wee owl plushies for her fabric-fascinated daughter. So I decided to sew up these 'prototypes' for my own gal to play with. I had already sewn this large mama owl before hand... and the zip-open pouch is a great storage spot for these new hatchlings.
[A trip to the Dollar Store during Easter season allowed me to get those fun plastic eggs to tuck them into]!
Each wee hoot is a combination of various fabrics to stimulate the tactile toddler's touch.
[We're talking: faux furs. felt. cotton. polyester. fleece. wool. etc.]
The mama owl is reversible if she needs to be camouflaged (because every mama needs a moment to hide away).
A cute little project for us owl lovers.
Azriel was keen to tuck them lovingly into the stable (I'm sure there were owls in the Nativity story!) She's been having a lot of fun with them around the nest here....how tweet!

More fun projects to show you this week, stay tuned friends!
