Owls in embroidery hoops

From my last post owls hanging nursery mobile I decided to make some more simple gifts using the same owl characters. I sewed the pieces onto some pale grey needlecord (left over from my dungaree dress which I made - blog post to come when I get around to photographing it!) I stuffed some wadding into each owl too to make it a bit 3D, then I framed them in a painted embroidery hoop and hanged with a matching ribbon.

Please do get in touch if you would like me to make you anything similar :)

 

 

Felt Christmas Baubles

I made some cute Christmas decorations from bits of felt, beads and ribbons. My sewing machine skills are still not as great as I'd like but these were good practice! The idea and the patterns came from Samantha Stas in this month's Mollie Makes Magazine.

Owl Plush

This is my latest creation, made for my dad for father's day. He's based on my owl collages, with a few modifications. He's made from fleece fabric and felt bits, stuffed with polyester fibre.
