I stepped out of my comfort zone and tested a pattern for a special lady. Her blog is HERE.
It was fun and I tried to follow the directions exactly as written.
Everything went really well and I was happy with the results.
The only thing I thought might make the pattern even better would be adding numbers to the pattern pieces. The first time you make one, it would help.
I used felt that I had on hand so I didn’t follow the colors exactly but everything else is as written.
What a sweet little owl.
He’s happy no matter where he goes!
I love owls, don’t you?
Thanks so much for this opportunity, Audrey!
She’ll have the patterns for sale soon.
Have you ever tested a pattern?

What a cute little owl!!
Your owl turned out so cute! Love it!! Good for you. I saw that owl and didn't even think of making one for myself. Your colors look great.
Can't get enough owls! My craft room is full of them. Your owl is darling. He's perfect for Halloween too!!
The owl is sweet, a kind of pocket pal.
I've just been going through the blogs I follow on Bloglovin and a few like yours are not showing your posts in my daily list. :-(. I'll have to look I to this.

No, I haven't, but he turned out so cute that it must have been a good pattern. Numbers always help me. I'm challenged. =D
Hi Diane! Oh, you did good! That's a darling little owl! I agree, sometimes the authors of the patterns think we think like them!
Be a sweetie,

Aww you did a first rate job and your owl is a lil cutie!
Your little owl turned out great. I haven't tested any patterns except one I try to write down. I write them down, leave them for awhile and then try them myself before I decide to add it to my blog.
You always make the cutest things. I have been wondering what have you been cooking?
Smiles, Dottie

I love the lil owl, how cute he is. And it seems he is not to difficult or time consuming. And YES he looks happy sitting anywhere :)
He is adorable ! Never tested a pattern, no....I am not experienced enough. I have run into one or two ( such as a doll one in Mollie Makes magazine awhile back ) that gave me troubles and when I inquired I found out that it was not me after all but the instructions were not correct. LOL and ME the sewing idiot pointed that out ::)
What a cute owl!! I've seen them popping up everywhere. I haven't tested someone else's pattern before, but many years ago...I made patterns and sold them at the sewing shop that I worked at.
hugs,
Cindy
