Recycled baby blanket

Once upon a time,

I had a beautiful baby girl who adored her pink blankey.

Fast forward 7 years to a now small blanket for a growing girl.

Instead of putting it away, I decided to recycle it into something she would use:

Keep in mind I made this strictly with a little ♥ and not experience with a sewing machine ;)  Ha ha.

DIY:

Here's how you can make your very own owl...
maybe from your special piece of fabric, too!

Instructions:

• Decide on how big your want your owl; measure.
• Cut fabric based on measurements.
• Use {newspaper} template of owl shape, {I simply freehanded mine.}
• Cut out template on 2 pieces of fabric.
• Place back-to-back and pink in place.
• Add triangle "wings" {from her baby pillow that matched her crib set.}
• Pin into place, ready to sew {pin INSIDE body, otherwise wings/feet will be inside out!}.
• Sew all pieces together, leaving a small slit for stuffing.
• Stuff, stuff, stuff until your owl is nice and plump!
• Add eyes {mine is layered in freehand felt daisy's, a circle and buttons from my grandmother,} triangle nose and feet {added some poms for toenails!} and stitch into place.
• Give to your daughter to ♥ on.

Hoot hoot! :)
