Making owls.

For the last couple of weeks we have been making owls.I really enjoyed it because it was arty and creative.

To make the owl we had to try to find old unused fabrics and wooly blankets. Once had enough we started, to design our owls in our art book.Then we chose our fabric colours and the fabric for our designs.Then we cut out the shape of the owl using a template.After we had our template ready we cut out our wing, beaks, eyes and whatever else we wanted, and sewed them on with coloured thread.Then we sewed the two templates toghether using the running stitch, we had to be remember to leave a space down the bottom to put the stuffing in.When I put the stuffing in I made sure that my owl wasn't too fat.
To finish it off we sewed up the bottom using the whip stitch.
My owl was awesome, heres a photo of what it turned out like.
