Hello,
I tried something new recently. Machine piecing in the hoop. These owls were so easy to make. It only took two hooping's. The first hooping was for the wings. Then in the next hooping the rest of the owl was machine embroidered the wings put on and then backing. Then it was time for the feet, which meant a little un-picking at the bottom so I could put in the hair ties for the feet .The next step was stuffing them then sewing up the side.

Yes they are addictive, I have plans to make some more.
Here they are all ready for work...

They are pincushions, or they could be used to hold your crochet hooks. The feet each hold one of those large reels of cotton. You could leave the stuffing out and turn it into a needle case. If you are not a sewer they would be great for holding your manicure set.

"Screen Printed Fabric."
|
The best part of this project was I got to use a length of fabric that was screen printed. I bought this length of fabric from Good Sammy's many years ago with this design repeated across it. I couldn't understand why someone would go to all that trouble and not use the fabric. Even though it looks like a fish it was the perfect owl material.
Happy days.
