Yarraville Festival

So how did the stall at Yarraville Festival go anyway?

Well, turns out the council wasn't happy for us to have a little table out the front of my uncle's shop without a permit, so we moved our table indoors.

I got some lovely compliments from festival goers, but unfortunately not many people actually ventured into the shop to take a closer look. Nevermind! I had a lovely time being at the festival and it was really nice to see how many people liked my felties.

Thanks to Jennie and my fiance and family for turning up to show their support! Next time I'll set up a proper stall and hopefully we'll have a little more business :)

How to: Owls

Step 1:
Cut out felt pieces:
- Dark grey felt for back and front
- Light-coloured felt for face
- White felt circles for eyes
- Brown felt for feet
- Coloured fabric for belly

Step 2:
- Sew feet on to body
- Sew on face, eyes and beak

Step 3:
- Sew on black beads for pupils

Step 4:
- Sew the pieces together and stuff

Owls

I've been looking forward to making owls. They have so much personality and you can really play around with colours and patterns.

These little hooters are based on a similar template to the babushkas.
