Hello, I Should Be Mopping the Floor readers! It's T'onna {Navy Wifey Peters} from USS Crafty again, and today I'm sharing a couple fall owl pillows.
Recently, I made a Halloween Owl Pillow for my daughter, and my neighbor stopped by one day to sell us some donuts for a fundraiser. When she saw the Halloween owl pillow I made for my daughter, she wanted one. She also saw a bundle of leafy fabric that I had left over from a few other projects. She asked if I'd make her an owl pillow using that leafy fabric, so I did. I also made an owl pillow using scarecrow and orange plaid fabric I stumbled upon during my last trip to Jo-Ann's. So here are a few pictures I took while creating my fall owl pillows:

I found an owl pattern for the owl body and the wings. I found round objects around the house to trace around to make the circles for the eyes. |

I needed a few supplies, and I've been having hip issues, so I sent my husband to Wal-Mart. He did a great job getting exactly what I needed, but I made it easy by sending him with swatches of fabric. |

I'm not a fan of ironing, but it needed to be done! :-) |

I used a zigzag stitch to sew on the eyes and beak. |

Once the face is sew onto the owl, I put the front and back right sides together and stitch around the edge. I left about a 1.5 inch opening to allow for stuffing the pillow. |

All done! I thought the green rick rack was a great accent for both pillows. |

Scarecrow Owl Pillow

I had a ton of fun making these owl pillows, and I'm planning on making a bunch more. I've already started on a few Halloween owl pillows, a Thanksgiving pillow, and I'll definitely make some Christmas owls. I think these will be cool Christmas gifts! Stop by USS Crafty or Facebook to check my other owl pillow creations.
Neglect your chores like me and don't miss a thing:
Thanks! I'm glad you like them! :-)
