Welcome Back
For those of you who follow my witterings on Twitter, you may have heard me mention that I bought a sewing pattern for making owls. I collect owls, and when I saw the pattern for them on Etsy, I couldn’t resist. I used some of the lovely fabric my friend Crafty Nanna gave me earlier in the year and made this.
Spent a crafty afternoon with my neighbour’s grandaughter and helped her make the following owl.
Used Tim Holtz keyring findings, sewn to the little owls head to change him into a key ring. He’s dead cute and this was made from the Large owl pattern. I’m going to enlarge the pattern further and make a much bigger owl, then fill him with lentals so he can sit on my book and hold the page open for me. I struggle to hold books open for long coz of the RSI, so he will be a really useful helper.
To make your own adorable owls, check out The Little Owlery on Etsy, where you can purchase the pattern.
Best wishes and thanks for reading

They are so sweet, I really like the material you used on the first one!! You are talented, I really like how yours look so different and to put a key chain on them, stellar job!!
Hi ChellyBeanCrafting
The second one, the keyring one was made by my neighbours granddaughter. I’d taught her how to make the owl and she gave the result to me, I put the keyring on it as it was so cute.
The first one with the beige tummy was mine.
Glad you like him, you could take the project in a lot of different directions to make it your own. Have fun creating owls, I’d love to see your results.
Best wishes
Billie
