This bag was totally inspired by Heather Summers artisan award entry. She made a baby quilt with the owl and it was precious. To do my bag i started in MDS with and 8.5 x 11 blank page. I added the owl punch body and enlarged it to about 80% of the page. I made the color of him a light purple (just to help when I cut out later). Then I added the owl vest and the largest eyes and enlarged them so they looked right on the body.
I printed that page out twice. My muslin bag is from HL at 1.99. The material I bought at Jo-Ann and Hancock just looking in there small squares for interesting black and orange material. I used heat and bond on the roll and cut a piece of fabric slightly larger than the owl body from the black. I adhered the heat and bond to the wrong side of the fabric. Then i used a staple to hold my pattern and fabric in place and cut around the owl body (don't staple on the body itself). I then peeled off the paper of the heat and bond and ironed it to the bag. repeat for owl chest. I cut the whites of the eyes out of felt and then sewed a black 25 mm button and then used crystal effects to glue a 20 mm googlie eye to that. I promise this took me less than 20 minutes. i even cut 2 small circles from the leftover parts to heat and bond to the inside to cover up/secure my stitches. I hope my little man will enjoy filling this up with treats on Monday night. If you have any questions please email me at mikende@cox.net. I'll be out of town but my hubby will be at home and can relay any messages. Have fun....oh yeah the little pumpkin is what they decorated at preschool.
