Making softies

For the last two weeks, room 12 were learning how to sew.  We started with a square bit of fabric to practice our knots, going in a straight line, zig zags, spirals and other shapes.  Also we had to have a wrong and a right side so the knots go on the wrong side and it would look beautiful on the right side.

After we thought we had practice enough we moved on to sewing our softies.  Before sewing we had to plan what our softies were going to look like and getting a sample of the fabric we were going to use.

Our softies are cute owls.  We had a template to follow if we wanted but you could make your own design. 

Time to sew our owls.

We started with sewing on the wings.  I was a bit nervous about sewing them on so I kept calling someone over to see if I was doing correct.

Next we sewed on the nose and then the eyes.  You had a choice if you wanted to glue the pupils on or sew the on.

After we had sewed everything on the front we running stitched around the owl with the right sides on the inside and the wrong sides on the outside.

After we would flip it into the right way and stuffed it then we sewed it up with the wipe stitch.
I enjoyed stuffing my owl and getting it finished in time.  Up the top you will see a picture with me and my owl.
