Meadowlark Diaries: How to sew an owl (according to me)

Turns out yesterday was a great day for crafts because it was cold and rainy! How lucky, I didn't waste a beautiful sunny day inside!
Anyways, I decided to sew an owl. I searched for free owl patterns for a good half an hour and I didn't find exactly what I was looking for. So for my pattern I made it up!

The Fabric

Things you will need:

Body (1 piece)

Wings (four pieces, 2 brown 2 blue)

Beak (1 piece)

Feet (4 pieces)

Tummy (1 piece)

Face (1 piece)

Eyes (2 pieces)

Buttons (2 for over the eyes)

Thread
Fluff

I couldn't find just one pattern I liked so here is picture of the patter I used the most of the body, but I made up the pattern for the wings, which I also put up! Here's a link to the owl pattern

Alrighty, so after I drew out the pattern I cut them out (which I could have redrawn them on tissue paper but I'm a little bit to lazy for that) and pinned them to the fabric (make sure it's on the grain!)

Everything pinned down

After cutting out the pieces I then sewed the tummy, face and beak onto the front of the owl (I'll hand sew the eye's and buttons on as a final step) Cut slits in all the corners and round parts (and pointy parts of the ear) so they all turn out how they are supposed to look. Then I flipped the owl around (so both fronts were together) and completed the body! Then iron to flatten**Remember to leave a hole to be able to turn it inside out and to stuff with fluff, this also puts the seem on the inside

Resulting in this:

The front sewn completely

Then put the two fronts of the wings together and sew. Cut slits by all the round parts and corners so it'll look right when you flip it**Again remember the hole to be able to flip inside out

Do the same to the feet
