The zebra was easy. I can find that fabric anywhere. The owl, however, was not. The original owl nap mat was made from scraps. That is why it has the owl applique, to make it more appealing. I went to Hobby Lobby to find the fabric, but they were out, of course. So I looked at Hancock's Fabrics to find owl fabric. This is the final result.
I used the pink owl in the design to make the large owl on the blanket. I drew the owl parts onto stitch witchery and then ironed them on fabric scraps (NEVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY!). Then I ironed the owl onto the blanket and zig-zagged around the whole thing.
I think it turned out cute. I hope the client agrees.

She's going to love it, Melanie! So cute and I love the fabric you found! Thank you so much for linking up!
ReplyDeleteIt is not super but very superb cute. Great fabric you used here, which is so attractive and colorful. Title and description is perfect with your work. You change my thoughts about using single colours, buttons and flowers in fabric work.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, congratulations on the order. Your mats turned out beautifully!
