Howdy y'all! As hard I tried, I couldn't think of a clever owl-related pun for the title. Lol. I feel like I've been sewing up a storm lately (on the days I actually get to!) but don't have much progress to show. Today, however, I've got a finish to share!

| Those wings are actually a little crinkly! |
I was commissioned to make a tag toy for a baby. I didn't know much about these little things until I headed over to Pinterest and apparently these are awesome for babies. Or something. I'm not sure, but it was fun to make!

| Snuggly owl belly! Love the little hearts on that white flannel |
I was showed a picture of an owl tag toy from Etsy and was told to make something like it. So to the drawing board I went! I drafted a little pattern in no time at all (thank goodness for simple toys!). Things got a little fiddly at times as I was learning as I went, but after a prototype (and the surprise of ribbons being on the inside of the wings rather than the outside), I got this little bit of lovely put together!
 |
| I just want to snuggle into that minky fabric, so soft! |
I hand embroidered the eyes and the beak is made out of the same ribbon as the 'feet'.

| Lady owl has a beauty spot on her beak. :) |
I tested out my tiny embroidery skills to make a label! I absolutely love it! It took a bit of extra time, but it's such a cute touch, I think it was worth it. :)

| Tiny yet I love it! |
From the sounds of things, I might be making a few more of these in the future! I thought of maybe making a tutorial for this if anybody was interested, so let me know in the comments if you would like to see a tutorial!
This is the first finish I can mark off my
Quarter 2 Goals List for the Finish-A-Long!
Have a great week y'all! :)
