A very wise and dear friend just told me: "I recommend you take frequent sewing breaks"...so this evening, that is exactly what I did! Meet Owlivia, A Sewing Companion by Sandy Gervais...isn't she adorable?! She was so much fun to make, I made several friends for her...I didn't want her to be lonely. Didn't I just tell you how happy jumbo rick rack makes me? Best of all, the pattern and directions are FREE...yes, you heard me correctly, FREE! To find the list of supplies, directions, and owl template, visit http://www.modabakeshop.com/ (IMHO, one of the greatest blogs EVER!)...it is the March 10th entry. The directions are easy peasy - a beginner can definitely make one. Sandy even has a kit available with all the supplies she used (including her new Frolic Fabrics) for a small fee. I used several of her Frolic Fabrics for Moda, along with some coordinating fabrics from my stash...and I chose smaller buttons for the centers of the eyes. Owlivia is about 8.5" H x 6" W.Now for the even better news...one of my owls is looking for a new home...preferably one where she will be loved and well taken care of...so, for those of you who don't sew or don't have the patience or just want something I made...I am giving away one of my owls (made with my own two hands) to one of my blog followers...simply leave a comment on this post. I will use the random generator on April 8th to choose the lucky recipient. PLEASE leave your email address or make sure it is in your profile - entries without a valid email address will not be eligible. Thank you all for following and reading my blog - I enjoy your comments and compliments...
Good luck!
I do sew a little but can I still participate? Your owls looks so pretty! I have also a giveaway in my blog. Take a look.
