I Googled a pattern for an owl and found one that was cute at ashbyfamilyblog.blogspot.com. I printed it out and rough cut all the material (I changed the legs though) I did not worry about making the cuts perfect because 1. the material was a bit difficult to work with because it was from old clothes, therefore I had to deal with hems, stitching, etc. And 2. I did not mind the rustic look.
I have never sewn before so my mom came over and gave me a quick tutorial. It pretty easy to pick up, I mean I was only doing straight lines, nothing fancy. This project was overall remarkably easy.
So go for it, get crafty and trust your ability. Even if it does not turn out perfect, you can be proud that you created the finished product. This is Emma's owl that includes the outfits she wore for her first professional picture, her first Thanksgiving and first Halloween. I think it turned out really well for a first attempt.
