Easy Owl (From Recycled Sweaters)

Who...Who....an owl from old sweaters, that's WHO!

Step 1 Materials & Pattern

You will need: pins, scissors, sewing machine, felt, 2 - 3 old sweaters, old  flat pillows, paper for pattern, pen, needle, thread.

Using an old grocery bag, I cut out the shape of an owl. To get the shape even, fold the paper in half and then cut. I've shown the dimensions on a standard grid.

Cut:
2 Bodies & one bust (Body minus the head - This is only if you want the front to look different)
2 Eye liners (Any shape you wish...make your owl special)
2 eyes
4 feet
2 wings
1 beak

If you are using a stretchy/velvety material, you will need to make 2 additional bodies out of something like an old dress shirt, or pillow case to sew the stretchy material to. This keeps it from moving while you sew.

you could also get the fusible interfacing form craft stores so the fabric doesnt stretch or move as you sew.
