I adore the detail on the face and raw edges on the feathers. The pattern is in PDF format and the steps are clear and easy to follow. Apart from the usual materials required to make a softie, you will also need wire for the feet. This project is suitable for softie-makers with experience beyond the Beginner level.
Here’s a softie pattern freebie that I posted up on my own blog a few months ago. Oh-Oh the Owl cushion/softie is very easy to put together and if you are making this for a baby, you could substitute the button eyes with felt, and the felt feathers on the front with looped ribbons or crinkly cellophane encased in fabric.
There is no doubt that babies love to squeeze and cuddle things that will make a noise in response (and yes, some grown-ups like this too!). Susan Beal from CraftStylish shows you how you can turn a few empty plastic wrappers, felt, and thread in to a crinkly toy for your little bub (or um, grown-up friend):
This is really easy to put together and I like the fact there is a little bit of recycling thrown in as well You could insert add a bell or squeaker instead of the plastic wrapper. And if you are not in to owls, then you could pretty much draw up whatever you wanted and turn that into a crinkly toy!
This is a good beginner’s project and would look sweet nestled in an Easter basket with a selection of chocolate eggs. Instructions are clear and easy to follow and template is in a downloadable PDF format.
The free instructions and template are in downloadable pdf format and are easy to follow. The duck’s body can be made from any fabric and I think it would look especially cute in sherpa fleece or a fuzzy chenille.
Floresita, a true renaissance crafter, has kindly posted up the free pattern for a cute little softie owl, which you can sew completely by hand (no sewing machine required!)
Not only has she posted up the pattern, but she has also posted a fantastic little video tutorial:
This is another great softie for beginner softie-makers. These owls would make really cute brooches or bag tags, don’t you think?
Copyright of free patterns remains with the respective Author so please use the pattern to make the softie as a gift or for yourself but do not make softies to sell. Thank you!
