materials:
step 4: Fold the ends of the material in and hold them with more pins and sew along the bottom of the ornament.
Its not a complicated tutorial because my sewing skills are decidedly advanced, there are a lot of different techniques you could use, you could sew an ornament with the right side out and then crimp along the edges with pinking shears (I don't have any) add buttons, or embroidery. The owl and the quail I hand drew with a fabric pen, ironed it to set the ink and I think they look quite special. I will be giving these out as Christmas gifts as well as decorating our Christmas tree with them.
If you have any questions I will try my best to answer them, and if not I will point you in the direction of someone who can. Its a fun way to use up little scraps that might otherwise sit about in your scrap box feeling unloved and cross breeding with rogue dust bunnies. My scraps and samples have come from some lovely friends, and from ikea, Laura Ashley, and Cath Kidson online ( I er only ordered the samples too chickenshit to order real fabric)

check you out with your sewing tute!!! They look great, I love the owl one the very best!
lets jsut say there is sewing and then there is what I do... more of a bodge job sort of thing!
Check out the owls on my blog that i linked to. They are so similar to yours of which I totally adore. I think your owl ornament is the best.
That's a lovely idea. Something to do with my daughter too. (She's 11) Work well with a bit of sewing around the fabric design or drawing, in a quity kind of way. Thank you for the inspiration.
