OWLS!

A few weeks ago, when my friend and I went Christmas shopping at the Mall of America, she was starting to look at netbook cases. Then we went to one of those trinket stores that you look at for an hour and come away with nothing, she started to tell me about how she has been really into OWL everything lately. Of course I had to tell her about all the cool Owl fabric out there.



So I signed myself up to make her an Owl netbook case/ cover. I got home Sunday evening and I wanted to start it right away. But I did not have Owl fabric, and I DID NOT want to wait to order some. So I made my own Owl applique pattern. 

There are two reasons that make this so interesting.... #1 I have never appliquéd, well, not successfully. And #2, whenever I try to create my own anything, it only causes a lot of frustration!
But guess what? It worked. Well, I think it did anyway. I wanted to make it a perfect fit, so until my friend and I meet again, it will just be applique, and not a netbook cover.
