Now that Autumn is officially upon us, my mind starts to think of cool, crisp weather, the smell of burning leaves, picking apples and of course, Halloween. I love to make my daughters' costumes however this year, Delaney has her heart set upon being a Triceratops. And while I am fairly creative, I do know my limitations and a Triceratops is most definitely out of my skill set! I am still making Donna's though and hopefully she will be the cutest little owl in town.
I got my inspiration from this cute little number
And thought that I could combine it with the wings from this outfit.
I finished the main part the body today but I unfortunately ran out of brown felt so my work has ceased for the day and I will be off to JoAnn Fabrics tomorrow in search of more. I'm also adding a tail and making a different headpiece for her. I've been loving the look of the many handmade, patchwork-style stuffed toys I've been seeing on Etsy lately so that was what inspired the fabrics that I used to make the feathers. I think that if I use a little fabric stiffener, I can curl the feathers up a little bit and give them a little more life. Here's what I have so far...
