Baby Jessica’s Owls
July 22, 2010
It’s still all sickness and flu around here but I’ve been working on a little string of owls to go across a pram for the gorgeous baby Jessica. This was meant to be a newborn baby present and she’s now nearly four months old so I think it’s safe to say that I’m a little behind!
I put bells in a couple of them to make a little noise as she kicks them.
All the owls are finished, I’m just trying to track down some pink coloured elastic to thread them all together.
Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.

Gorgeous! And elastic takes dye well so that might be the easiest wat to get the colour you want. I spent many a night dying elastic with my sister for various creations when she was a tech studying fashion.

Oh that’s such a great idea Amelia, thank you. I’ve been looking everywhere for coloured elastic.

Thats is a lovely idea for the pram….I was going to make a mobile for my neice but she is now 4 months old so maybe a pram toy? are those containers from the kids toy machines?? Great idea for the bells

Hi Jenni, Yup just little containers out of bubblegum machines – the ones that have toys in them. You need something for the bell to rattle around in otherwise the stuffing muffles the sound.
