OWL TOY PATTERN – Ollie and Lolly the LAID BACK Owls!

Nov 25, 2011 | Blog, NEW Toy Patterns

This might sound ODD – but I did NOT want to make an owl pattern!

Well, I guess it was because I have seen a lot of people already making owls and I didn’t want people to feel I was copying theirs!!!! BUT when my friend Jodie from twomonkeys fabric shop asked me to make her an owl in her new range of owl fabrics … I couldn’t resist!

My biggest challenge was make my owl pattern different from anything I’d seen before! My idea was to make a really ‘laid back’ owl…. sort of lolling back and RELAXING after a hard night doing their ‘night-time owly-stuff‘!

I am soooooooooooooooo pleased with how he turned out – I took extra care with sewing on his beak and eyes as he had to look REALLY GOOD as Jodie is taking him down to the Australian Quilt Market at the end of November to show off her fabric!

And here they are… two great mates –

Ollie and Lolly the LAID BACK OWLS!

I love how their claws and floppy wings can lie forwards or backwards, I guess you could even use a different fabric for UNDER their wings… this is a fabulous pattern for mixing and matching your fabric and felt colors…

so go wild and have fun… I did! : )
