So last weekend, we didn't do very much - similar to this weekend- due to the fact that my partner has busted his knee and can't leave our second floor flat very easily! I have been getting back into my reading and decided I was going to do some crafting!
Ages and forever ago, I read on the wonderful Sprinkle of Glitter blog, which is a lovely blog by a girl called Louise who seems super nice, about a craft kit on the ol' bay of E. The kit was to make a shabby chic style owl cushion and I thought it looked so so cute that I had to snap one up! I got one from this Seller, although I'm sure there are others similar.
The kit arrived and in it were some offcuts of material and a thick paper 'cut out and keep' template. The good thing about this is that once you have this, you can make as many owls as your heart desires! Sweet!
I did a basic running stitch but in retrospect, I would have been better off with a back stitch, details of both can be found here and I am sure there are a gazillion youtube videos about sewing too! To stuff it, I just used the inside of an old cushion that I had saved when my grandma moved house, I wish now I had saved her flowery curtains that no-one could think of a use for! D'oh!
And here he is, I haven't thought of a name for him yet but I am rather proud of this cute little chap and I am super keen to make more and give them away as pressies! I know a few people who are just moving home etc so I may do some investigating as to what their decor is like and see if they have room for a brother or sister of Owlie!
Hugs,
Jodi
