Difficulty
Super easy!
I designed this Orville the Owl softie pattern for a Harry Potter Camp I taught. I needed to be able to make it with 20 kids - most of whom had never used a sewing machine before. They did a fabulous job! Every kid made an owl he or she loved! It's so easy my daughter (age 8) made the blue one you see on the cover. :-)
Now you can make one too! This is a great first pattern to try if you want to get started making softies.
You can find links to sources for many of my favorite tools and supplies here.
You'll Need. . .
- scraps of fabric for owl front and back - if you use fat quarters you'll have leftovers
- scraps of felt for eye circles
- buttons for eyes - I used 7/8" buttons but you could go bigger or smaller. Use what you have!
- scrap of felt for beak (optional)
- polyester fiberfill stuffing
This pattern is not available for commercial resale. That means you may not copy and sell or digitally distribute the pattern or any variation of the pattern.
For example, you may not print the pattern and sell those copies.
Yes!
You may, however, sell anything you make with Shiny Happy World patterns as long as you are the one making it.
For example, if you're using this pattern to make stuffed animals which you sell at a craft fair or in an online shop, that's great!
Talk to Me
If you're hiring out any part of the process, please get in touch and we'll work out a fair licensing agreement.
For example, if you want to hire someone to do all the stuffing, or die cut the fabric pieces for you, those two scenarios would require a licensing agreement. Get in touch! I'm easy to talk to. :-) smile@shinyhappyworld.com
