About the event
Join me in this whimsical exploration of crafting with wool! These sweet little snowy owls are made through a combination of simple sewing and needle-felting techniques. They can be a great introduction for anyone wishing to try out these crafts!
During the class, you will complete at least one owl and will take home the tools and materials necessary to create a second. We will first cut, hand-sew, and stuff a cashmere body, and then we'll work to add the facial details and wings with needle felting. Each little owl will grip a brown felt branch in its claws and hang from a silk ribbon. They can be nestled into a soft bed of wool roving inside their festive metal heart-shaped box--ready for gifting to someone special!
This class is beginner friendly and requires no previous sewing or felting experience. It is recommended for adults or very experienced older children (ages 12+). During the class, you will receive:
- cashmere knit fabric
- merino wool pre-felt
- merino wool roving
- wool batting
- plant-dyed wool felt
- needle-felting needle
- embroidery needle
- threads
- heart-shaped tin boxes (2)
- sewing templates
The finished owls are approximately 2” tall, although the pattern may be scaled. Metal heart-shaped boxes are 2 3/4" wide by 1 1/2" high.
