    I made a few little owls earlier this year out of felt and hand sewing. I didn't really have a plan either, I just drew what I wanted them to look like, then I drew out a little pattern for the main shape, cut it out, and traced it on the felt. I sewed them together by hand because I don't have a sewing machine.


    I've always hated the way glue works (or doesn't) on felt.

    I wanted the stitching to be visible for the face and stuff, so I just approximated the shapes I needed and then cut them out and sewed them on.

    OOOO...I like it! My friend loves owls, I'm going to try to make at least one for her...

    I like the look of that, too. I may try to make some that look like that, and some that look a little cleaner...

    I will see if I can get a photo of him tonight to share.
