finally, an awesome owl! I'm looking for tutorials for a friend's b-day present, and this is the first really good one. I think I'll make it. Really cute.
Love this owl! I really want to make one for my baby, but the link just goes to your Etsy shop :( Please let me know how I can get the pattern. Thank you very much!
This owl is ADORABLE! I was hoping to make it for a friend but the link to the pattern pieces redirects now (as previously mentioned). Any chance of being able to get the pattern pieces another way?
New Pattern is up now, enjoy!
