2. I drew out a pattern, then transferred it to the cloth and cut it out. I then used the sewing machine to sew up the edges of the owl. I embellished the owl with a pocket from an old pair of shorts, and some buttons. I then stuffed the owl with bits of cloth, and it was complete.
3. I used an old blanket, an old pair of shorts, and buttons. I also used a sewing machine.
4. Sewing
5. I enjoyed seeing the owl come to life as i added the buttons for eyes, and the stuffing. It was difficult sewing on the pocket, and cutting out stuffing for the owl because that took a long time and I'm not very patient.
6. The overall sewing job on the owl looks pretty nice. I think i did well on that, because there are no holes in the animal, and everything is sewed on securely. I also like the design of the owl.
Principals & Elements of design in my project:
I liked the balance on my project, because the blanket i used had a plaid design, so i off centered that design, while keeping the pocket and eyes and beak symmetrical on the owl. I think that had a nice effect.
I used the pocket from the pair of old shorts as the contrast in my project, because the blanket was dark, and the shorts were khaki. The yellow beak also adds some nice contrast.
I followed through with my original plan for the project, and the owl came out very nicely.
Mindy you owl is soooo cute! the stitching was done really well and it looks like you put a lot of effort into it. the way you shot your pictures was very cool and different as well and i really like that too!
ReplyDeletethat is so cool. and its kinda cute.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely ADORE the owl. The fabric has a nice & comforting pattern, and it's really soft, which is definitely a bonus!
ReplyDeleteThis is really original, and turned out fantastic.
Like Kira said, the pictures are amazing, the owl in the window is super.
the owl looks really good and it was cool that you made it from all those materials and sewed them together. Good job. Also goo decision on what colors of fabrics to use
ReplyDeletethe owl is nice and all but where does the window fit in are you trying to tell me you made that?!
ReplyDeleteMindy, your owl idea is adorable. And I love that you have something like that that you made. I like the contrast of patterns, from the plaid pattern to the khaki pocket.
ReplyDeleteThe sewing definitely tests patience! I'm so proud that you finished it (with a few pricked fingers) but it's so cool to say that you did it BY HAND.
(our pictures are adorable :)
I like how you put a pouch on his belly. It's a simple design. Lots of contrast between the pouch and the plaid body.
ReplyDeleteawww tht makes me think of when i was little i like the simplicity of ur art
ReplyDeleteI really loved your owl i thought it was very creative and i loved how the fabric was colorful it turned out great :)
ReplyDeletelets just say that i absolutely love your owl!! it is soooo cute :DD i really love the contrast colors you made t out of and that you put a pouch on the belly so that you could put something in it :D like possibly a baby owl :P
ReplyDeleteThe owl is very cute. The pocket adds such a good touch!
ReplyDeleteold buttons for eyes-- it's so cute ^^
I'm pretty positive your project was my favorite :) Your stuffed plush turned out super cute. The pattern and material are soft and cozy looking, and the pocket on the front gives it a childish feel that completes the look. The design is simple and basic, which is good because then you can have the pattern without things being too complex. Maybe the only thing I'd consider doing different is changing the size of the nose, because it is almost the same size as the button right below it which may upset the proportion. But great job, this turned out really well!
