Owl Pillow

March 7, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 31 Comments

I love public holiday Mondays! The extra day makes all the difference. To be honest, I wasn’t really sure why we have a public holiday in March called Labour Day but I now realise it is celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers (I can’t argue with that!). I put my time to good use this morning in the sewing room while the teens did their homework.

Sarah mentioned that she would love an owl cushion to match her room so it was fun to sew one up. I based it on a pattern I found at The Sewing Republic, with a few alterations.

After I took the photo, I realised my stuffing skills need a bit of work – it has been a while since I made any softies.
