Owl Swear Owl Stop Making Owl's

Soon. Very Soon. (But never bad puns.  They are my bread and butter)

Back to the matter at hand. This little guy.  He even rattles!  Next time, note to self, move his feet up higher.

First, I cut him out. I drew out the shapes. Sometimes I used circles, but more often than not I free handed.

There he is, all put together. Too bad you can't see his cute little feet. Next doll I need to remember to sew them up higher.  I also didn't stuff him as much as I have before...hopefully that helps with coming apart at the seems ;)

And lookey what I put on his tushy!

Cloth Doll

After seeing all sorts of cute cloth dolls around pinterest and the blogosphere, I decided to have a go at it after randomly paging through this book Craft Challenge: Dozens of Ways to Repurpose a Tea Towel.

It looked easy enough....so I picked up some soft flannel fabric at Joanns along with some felt and gave it the old college try.  I based the doll a bit off the pattern in the book, but did stray out on my own.

This project was so fast and fun - the end result is cute, but not cute enough for the cutest baby in the world.

Cloth Doll:

Materials:
Soft flannel yellow polka dot fabric
Purple, green, orangey-brown, and pastey white girl felt
Green, red, orangey-brown, and yellow floss

I LOVE the way the hair turned out, especially the bangs.  I have ideas for revamping the next ones I make...wait for it....wait for it....No seriously, wait for it. I've got two other projects in the hopper right now.
