Sweater Hooters!! Another UFO Done...

Aren't these owls cute?!!!

I made them from a
sweater that I saved
from the Goodwill bag
not once but twice!!!

It has been in my to do
box since last fall!






This is the sweater,
a medium of which
I am not anymore
and since It will be
awhile if ever that
it will fit so I have
had plans to try to
make owls...which
I love!!!






I used the sleeves
for the small ones
and wacked a big
one out of the center
of the body!

With a little felt,
buttons, stuffing,
and embroidery
floss.............

An owl family!


So grab a throw
away sweater and
start creating!!!



Happy sewing.............Carlie

Owl Bag

I just love owls and have wanted to make
an owl bag for a while.
This is what I came up with first.

I used yoyos and buttons for the eyes
and I had an antique plastic belt buckle
that I use for the beak. I attached it
to the quilted head piece that made
a flap for the bag.

I quilted the wings and used prairie points
for the chest feathers and made an
outside pocket. I also quilted the
piece for the tail. It seemed to look
kinda fishy because of the prairie
points and tail and it was long
and narrow. The next one will be
shorter and wider but I know what
to do now! But I still like it.
