instead I will plough right in...
I have been away for about a month, having last posted whilst away at my sisters in the states...America was amazing for Crafting and Patchworking. the fabric was SOOO Cheap, and the craft supplies plentiful and many bargains to be had!!!
Having finished the patchwork for my sister I have been focusing on a larger Owl for my friend. She commissioned me to make one for a friend of hers having a new baby. I posted a small owl a while ago, and this one is a bigger version...Here he is...
He is made from some lovely brushed cotton fabric I got in the States, felt and 2 buttons. really simple to do. I actually made a second one, as this one, which you can't really see on this photo, the blanket stitching on the sides pulled once it had been stuffed and didn't look great. So the next one I made I sewed a seam about a 1cm in from the edge and then used the stitching base as a guideline.The second one I also added a weight to the 2nd one, to help him stand up a bit better.
Hopefully the new baby will love him...more posts to come...
Next project...a patchwork laptop bag!!!
