Fabric Owl Failure
.
I know that during my crafting career I’ve had to have had many first-time successes. This wasn’t one of them. I started out wanting to make these cute owls.
The first one I cut out (using the template in the magazine) was too small for me to enjoy working with, so I made the pattern just a smidgen bigger. I cut out my wool felt pieces.
I made these cute feet.
Then, I made the owl. The failure…she won’t stand up. The wire is too thin. Drats! I’ll see if I can get some stiffer wire, and I probably won’t stuff the next one. Live and learn.
She might not be able to stand up but she still is a cute owl. I love her flower eyes.
Well! She is cute. You could add a pin back and she would be purrfect!!!
She is lovely and Penelope’s suggestion is a fab one.
Maybe you could hang it…

No, Her is wonderfuls…I think her is just drunk.

Sometimes they make those patterns so tiny and fiddly, good idea to make a bigger one.
I absolutely love the bead legs! I agree with Daisy above, she would be lovely to hang up.
Definitely not a failure.

I think she is very cute and will make a nice patch for something. I often fail at my few crafting attempts I dont know how you have time to do all the stuff you do! I am very impressed

Oh but we think it looks really cute. Maybe keep it as a tree charm for Christmas. Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
She is still quite nice. We agree with the others, add a pin to the back and wear her or string her over your kitchen counters.

Lori I love your owl and I think it will make a very adorable decoration for your Christmas Tree. Be sure to show us your standing creation when you find the stiff wire.

Awww…I don’t think you failed at all! I think that little owlie was a HUMONGOUS success. AND I think it’s super way cuter than the ones in the magazine.

But she is super cute, it’s for hanging on the wall instead,
I think he is so cute! I thought he would make a cute magnet.
Anyone who has done any sewing or crafting has had failures much worse my Sweet!!!!!! Yours looks real cute!!!!
Thanks for your visit !!! There will be 39 more houses that look almost the same when they are done!! This part of town is GROWING!!!!!
All so close together!!
You should see mom’s disasters! She has no skills but I love her anyway.

I think it is so cute and creative, even if it won’t stand up!
Standing or not, I think she is wonderful xxoxxx
