I went to JoAnn Fabrics to get a needle, and I came out with a bit more than that. It always happens. I had been toying with the idea of making some type of stuffed animal. Since I love owls, I decided they would be my first try. I came across this really cute flannel fabric in the clearance section. I already had a bunch of felt at home, so I just needed to create a pattern. For my first try, I think my little owl is adorable! I do have to get better at sewing up the stuffing hole though :)
