Fabric Owl VIDEO TUTORIAL

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1:

Download, print and trim out the paper owl pattern (2 pieces)

STEP 2:

Cut out the fabric according to the pattern – the smaller piece of fabric will be the tummy, and the larger piece would be the main / back.

STEP 3:

Place the small piece on top of the big piece of fabric, right sides together and pin along both sides.

STEP 4:

Sew along one of the sides, and stop 1/4″ (6mm) from the top of the small piece as indicated in the pattern.

Sew along the other side, starting from the bottom, right next to the point you stopped above and sewing together both sides of the back piece.

STEP 5:

Turn the owl around. Press

STEP 6:

Fill it in with some polyester stuffing. Do not overfill it

STEP 7:

Take the hand sewing needle and thread. Tie off the end and sew a running stitch around the bottom opening, about 1/4″ away from the raw edge. Pull the thread to tighten and close the opening. Make a few more stitches and tie off the thread.

STEP 8:

To make the face, push the stuffing away from the pointy top piece and fold it downwards to the front of the owl. Pin it and sew in place.

If you want to make the keychain add the D-ring before you fold down the pointy piece.

STEP 9:

For the eyes – Cut out two small circles out of white felt and two small circles out of brown felt for the pupils.

Place one piece of brown felt on top of the white felt to make an eye. Place both eyes on both sides of the beak/face and sew in place

Ta-da. The owl is ready
