I love owls. I have always loved owls. When I saw the super cute owl costume in Pottery Barn Kids, I was psyched! Until I saw the price. Yeah. So, I decided to make Marley an owl costume. How hard could it possibly be, right? Gulp. My mom helped me figure it all out. I can sew all day long (and often do!) but I’ve never done 3D things like sew a beak on a hood, etc. I don’t do pattern making or any of that so I just sort of dove in and worked out the problems as they came up! Trial and error is all I can say. I used fleece & felt and lined the ‘wings’ with flannel. I’ve been sneaking it in while Marley naps & Up~Chuckies embroider away and I FINALLY finished it. I was sure she wasn’t going to try it on… but she did! It definitely has that ‘homemade’ look! Here is the result:
I don’t think I’m Project Runway bound but it will do! Now for my costume… ugh.
