I have to be in the mood. They take so much more time & detailed attention. But once I get started I can’t stop! I just think owls are so cute. I use eco felt for the owl shapes. Eco felt is made from 100% post consumer plastic bottles. It always amazes me what they can turn plastic into. Its so soft too!
I’m not much of a sewer. I know my basics. Like everything else I do, I just wing it & learn from trial & error. ( Some times there’s a lot more error!!) But I do love to sew & hope to try my hand at some new things.
I also made some new softies with squeakers. I had a lot of requests to add squeakers at the craft shows last year. I think I sold just as many of them to be used for baby gifts as I did for dogs!
The best part of sewing? This machine I get to use.

I love the owls....I have been totally enamored by owls lately....they are adorable...
I love those bags!! So cute! I never learned to sew but lately I've really been wanting a sewing machine because I see all of these cute projects I want to do.
Gorgeous bags!! and the Squeakee toy dog is ADORABLE!!! Awesome job to me. My sewing skills are very limited, but I like doing it when I have time. I am right there with you on the sewing machine. I sew on my Mom's old avocado green Kenmore!! I'm not sure I could even figure the new ones out. Oh me and that machine fuss and fight, but I usually wind up winning. ;)
AAH! I love the owl totes!!!
those owl totes are sweeeeet *
Those are darling! What can't you do, Trisha? You're amazing.
I posted today...just for you. ;)
I truly don't know how you make time for all your projects. You're amazing...
I saw someone else making grocery bags this week.These remind me of the little saw whet owls I was looking for last weekend.
You and your Mom's sewing machine are a great team! Your projects are so cute and sweetly simple. I fear I don't have the patience for sewing these days -- I used to sew all the time a few years ago. I'll just admire your creations. :)
Really cute bags! I love owls.
I got my machine for free off of Freecycle. It's a White and works really well. You might want to check it out...can't beat a free machine! :)
