The wings are sewn on decoratively with buttons. By now I turned into some kind of button-fanatic - I seldom leave a shop without buying a few.

Owlie is certainly no masterpiece of creativity (all the cute owls out there look pretty similar in some ways, it's the personal choice of material and colour that make them special to me), but it's my first own sewing pattern and I am very proud that I managed to give it a nicely flat underbelly right away.

I found a good tipp online too: If you fill a small bag with sand or stones and put that into small soft toys like this you can use them as a bookend or doorstop too. That's a neat idea!
