My first owl

                        

I finally tried making an owl with the pattern that [info]limelady (Sewing Stars) posted on Craftster in this thread from the Japanese craft book ちりめんの手作り小物 (ISBN: 4-8347-6348-X). Thanks so much for posting it, Teresa, you are so helpful!

I think I misinterpreted the instructions a bit because I am just learning how to sew and do things like this so it was a bit difficult following the pictures.  Even though I do know some Japanese and can probably translate what I don't in simple instructions like these, I couldn't really make out the kanji clearly from the scan.  So that's why this little guy has turned out a bit shorter and fatter than the guys on the pattern, but I quite like it!  I have worked out what I did wrong now so I know what I'm doing and more little owl friends should be along shortly. ^_^

I've seen that pattern before and thought of doing it myself - I think your lovely owl would look better than mine though! I think he looks quite nice being wider than taller :)

Your whale was sent today, so I hope he arrives soon :) Thanks so much again for the badges!

Thanks! I think you should try the pattern, if I can work it out amd make it look half decent then I think anyone could lol

And thanks for posting my whale, I hope he arrives safely!

Thank you as well! Yes I have to get some more supplies for owl-making as I don't have any black felt or anything good for eyes, and also I want some orange felt for the beaks, then I will make some more. :)
