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.
