DAY 5 in OWL-WEEK: Free Felt Owl Tutorial.
Be Wise and Carry an Owl Tape Measure. I mean it. Fancy thrifting a great cabinet on a Saturday flee market, only to find that it does not fit through your doorway… Ahhh!! Designer Gabrielle warns us for this potential ‘disaster’ and suggests to plop this adorable gadget in your purse to resolve any ‘should/should not buy’ – dilemmas in future furniture shopping.
I am thinking: this would make an adorable gift to my seamstress and otherwise measuring-twice type of friends. Brilliant!
Be Creative
This pattern has really many uses. Looking at it, I’m thinking that without the tape measure but with a bit of filling, it would make a great little pillow for a child who has to go to the hospital, or with a zipper at the back, and a bit of lining, it would make a fun coin purse. At a braided cord, and it could be a little girl purse too. Upsize the pattern, and you have yourself a great pillow or regular bag.
