... so for a bit of relaxation this weekend I got out my felting tools and made myself a phone case. The idea came from Etsy but I designed the owl to fit my own quirky sense of fun :)
I just love the distressed look you get when felting sheer fabrics so used my hand felting tool to embellish a circle for each eye, the wings and the body. I then hand sewed the eyes and beak together, something I find very relaxing, before sewing the pouch together with the sketchy machine sewing I so enjoy.
I don't 'do' neat, specific sewing on my machine as the slightest wrong stitch would really bug me, but I love the look of sketchy, mad stitching and enjoy doing it too.
Now to design some little keyring owls for the Advent Fair at church on Saturday...watch this space :)
Really love your owl phone case, great idea and gorgeous colours too. Really quirky, love it. Tracy Evans x x

I think your owl is fab. not played with felt for ages. lifes too short to be neat!!! Hugs Elizabeth x
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously stunning! Makes me wish I knew how to do and had the tools for felt work as my daughter would adore this!
ReplyDeleteHi there Sarah, WOW what a brilliant little owl, I love how you've made him. I don't(because I can't) do any real sewing, everything I attempt seems to turn out like a dishcloth. So I'm intrigued and think maybe this could be the style for me??
ReplyDeleteNah!! but yours is just superb, he he he :0) xx
That is a brilliant Owl Sarah.
