Owl Pillow



quilted fabric
black felt or fleece for the eyes
brown or orange felt or fleece for the beak
stuffing

1. Cut an owl shape out of a piece or paper for a template and a circle for the eyes.
2. Double the fabric and cut the owl shape out so you have two, a front and a back. Cut 2 eyes out of a contrasting fabric. I did the front different from the back of the owl and cut a contrasting heart out for the owl's "butt."
3. Glue small black circles with fabric glue onto the eyes, they can be off center. Sew a small "beak" just at the top so it flops. Sew the eyes offcenter onto the front owl over the top of the beak with a 1/4" seam. The edges will puff up and give it dimension.
4. Sew the heart on the back owl with a 1/4" seam.
5. Place the two pieces right sides out and sew around the owl with a 1/4" seam, leaving the bottom open.
6. Stuff the owl as much or little as you'd like.
7. Sew up the bottom with a 1/4" seam.
SO CUTE! This is for my niece but I want one...
