These owls are so cute and easy to make! They are good for bag charms, christmas tree decorations and small presents.

Draw an arch shape to be as big as you want the body of your owl to be, on a scrap piece of paper. Cut it out and choose what fabric you will use for the body.
Fold the patterned fabric in half with the right side inside and pin the owl template to it. Draw round the template in a pencil or pen, it should be faint but seeable.
Cut around the template but cut 1cm around.
On the line you have drawn sew a running stitch around the arch but leave the bottom end open so we can stuff the owl.
Make a few snips round the curve of the owl, dont cut too far or you may cut your stitches by accident. This helps when you turn your owl inside out.
Turn the owl the right way and stuff with soft toy stuffing, cotton wool or even scraps of unwanted fabric.
Sew up along the bottom edge with an over and over stitch.
Cut out a heart shape for in felt for the owls face. I use white/ cream for the contrast.
Then sew on two buttons for eyes and a felt beak.
Sew the face onto the owl.
