oh they are cute! I can imagine to fill them with something heavy and use them as fabric weights :D

[pamelawalker]

Absolutely wonderful. Did you make the piece that holds your scissors? I love that as well.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the tutorial I am so inspired I want to make an owl in every color! Appreciate you so much❤️

Thank you so much for showing how to make the owl. They are beautiful.

Great, concise tutorial. One point I would make is this: at 5m25s, you turn the fabric over before sewing the floral piece on the machine. I suggest, especially for a beginner, that this makes the sewing much more fiddly than it needs to be, considering you’re joining two differently curved pieces. Refreshing to see absolutely no hot glue gun!! I don’t have access to a printer, so a list of the pattern measurements would be very useful. Thanks for sharing… I’m making a huge owl today as a cuddle pillow and will be using your idea. EDIT: I just traced the pattern pieces from my screen… so it’s all systems go!

I was thinking, you could put a muslin bag of rice inside these and use them as fabric weights.

Oh. This is so cute. I can see them as a set of pin cushions for someone who sews. Thank you for showing us this amazing little owl.

Thanks Ellie for taking the time to share this! These will be great to use up some scrap fabric and maybe make some Christmas ornaments or even a nest of baby owls,   pin cushions...

I love these little owls. Thank you so much for showing how to make them. I appreciate how long it takes to make a video with the editting, etc on top. I definitely plan to make some of these. I think I might use Xmas themed fabric and stuff with lavender or add some drops of scented oils to the stuffing and pop them in with Xmas gifts. They would make very pretty drawer fresheners. X

I love your wee scissor case. Could we have one of your marvellous tutorials on how to make one?

[jillcooper]

Ellie once again a great video. Thank you so much for all the work and time you take to do these for us. You do such a great job explaining it to us and it is really easy to understand. So cute. Thanks again.

Adorable! The directions were clear and detailed. I'll be able to easily make one. Thanks SarahinHouston

[SewNiciVee]

Thank you so much for such a clear and helpful tutorial. I've learnt so much from you in just this one video. I'm very new to machine sewing (just a couple of weeks in) and you have definitely given me the confidence to try these. Looking forward to watching more of your videos x

Thank you. I've made one in each size. I used crushed walnut shells for filling and the plastic lid of a "to go" container for the base. Because I like wristband pin cushions I attached the soft side of "sew on velcro" to the bottom of the 🦉. A 1" square is sufficient. I used "one wrap velcro" for my wrist. And because I like a pin cushion on my sewing machine I attached the rough side of "stick on velcro" to the top of my machine. Your instructions are perfect. Thanks again. My friends are asking for one now. 👍

This was a really well made tutorial - you showed how to do every step along the way. I'm very grateful for it - thanks! Such a cute owl. The way you stitched the base on was very helpful!

Super adorable and easy tutorial to follow! Thanks for the video. I'll definitely give this a try ☺️☺️

[vickys.]

I just saw this tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing. I loved how you show every step and don't skip on steps. Thank you so much for sharing your pattern too. What a cute owl!

[MyDaisy]

Thank you for this Ellie. A lovely little project. I started your top down sock tutorial this morning. I’ve never knitted socks before, so I was thrilled when it came up. Your explanations are clear and simple as always. I may well make the owls when I need a break from knitting. Thank you.

[lauriegray]

Thank you so much for spending time doing this tutorial :-) I think a mama and papa with a couple little ones would be absolutely adorable !!!!

[seemarajderkar]

Good job Ellie !!! Good demo, neat work and great explanation !!! I will make one now.Thanks.
