Why I need to be one who sews. Link to how to make a stuffed owl.

Because when I go to the fabric store and see all the beautiful colors
I can only think "Endless Possibilities"I made this owl this weekend using this tutorial. I changed mine up a bit - making it bigger and stuffed it.
I'm improving. But I still suck. I forgot to add ribbon feet. And see how on one wing the ribbon is at the bottom and on the other it's at the top? Ya - I did the right wing 3 different times with the ribbon always ending up at the top. So I said - eff it - it's a wing - it has ribbon - done.
I think it's pretty darn cute.

you are doing awesome Brandy. Have you thought about making sock monkeys, i have a friend who does that, and she makes all sorts of cool ones.

I think it's cute! As far as the wings go...he's just different! I'm sure G loves it no matter what! I so want to learn to sew! I want to be able to make Natalee lots of cute clothes! I need a sewing machine first though...

Oh I'm impressed, you are getting close to being stinkier like a sewer. I think though, you might try to be a seamstress instead? :P

Katie said...

How adorable! Love the wing like that, it gives it so much more personality. And wow, that fabric store is awesome. I would be inspired too!

I like the little taggies on there!

Sadako said...

Ah! I'm reminded of vicarious trips to Mood. :)

Awesomeness.

Megan said...

Ooh, that is CUTE! I wanna make one now, too.

I used to have to go to the fabric store with my Grandma. I didn't know they even had places like that anymore.

I can't stop laughing thinking that you want to be a sewer, alternate meaning. I am very mature.

that owl is awesome! if i tried to do something like that it would just come out looking like a circle. with an eyeball and maybe one wing.

I think he is adorable! With much wisdom and character!

VERY cute! Mine wouldn't even look like a bird if I tried to make an owl. Probably more like a turd.

Salt said...

Better than I could do! That owl is super cute!
I tried to teach myself to sew and it was pretty much a fiasco. Sad, because I LOVE going to JoAnn Fabrics.

Just Breathe said...

Brandy, it's adorable. You did a great job. Give yourself a pat on the back from me!

Melissa said...

Otter Thomas! I totally thought Brandy meant sewer, too. As in this def from the Free Dictionary. "An artificial, usually underground conduit for carrying off sewage or rainwater." I was linking over and kept thinking, "what could she mean?" then so the fabric and went "duh!" LOL!

awww ilove it!!! i love those fabrics.....

Artiafora said...

He is too cute! I read the title like 10 times before I realized it wasn't saying "why I need to be a sewer (like underground sewage pipe)"! Haha.

Heather said...

LOVE him!! And, so what about his right wing and no feet...it.gives him character!! I take back that comment about Chris needing an etsy store to sell his duct tape creations (lol), YOU need an etsy store...for serious!!!

Life with the Lebedas said...

I'm the same way!! I want to learn how to sew!

Mrs.Mayhem said...

That owl is sooo cute. I'm really impressed. I feel the same way about fabric stores as you do, in awe of all the possibilities.

Cassie said...

That is pretty cute!

Jessa said...

I'm a total fabric junkie. That's why I started Happily Home Sewn - gotta pay for the fabric habit!

Dawn said...

Hahahaha! I love your little owl!

My husband bought me a nice sewing machine about five years ago. I've never used it because I've never learned how to use it. I keep saying I will take some lessons. Maybe this fall when school starts I'll have some time.

Meg said...

That owl is so super cute!!!
