Doorstop Dumpy Owl Twit-twoo Happy Easter to You! 🙂

My newest creation is ready just in time to wish everyone Happy Easter weekend!

This striking stripy character doorstop owl has been made from a coordinating selection of brown and cream cotton print fabrics. Adjusting the pattern I created for my own range of doorstops, I cleverly stitched the eyes and beak in such a way that it can move around and look at you with those big button eyes from different angles. So cute! 🙂

To decorate the character owl doorstop I used a selection of trims and buttons, some vintage and some brand new and finished it off with a lovely rich brown fabric tie with a shiny button stud.

As with all my new range of doorstops they are now shippable to anywhere in the world.  A simple solution to the weight shipping costs and customs restriction problem (Import restrictions in some countries don’t allow for earth/soils/grit) solved by the new owner simply unzipping the base removing the inner zipped bag, which can then be filled with a weighting element, (sand/grit/stone etc) replaced, zipped back up again and a perfect character doorstop ready to keep those doors open to let summer in! I pay the postage so you can add the weight!

Is it wise to stay awake ALL night?

This is one of my unique cushion covers with an owl I designed, no two are ever the same. Maybe the buttons are different or the fabric cut to different sizes in the borders, or stars in different place, I never entirely or exactly  reproduce a handmade piece.

I hand appliquéd pieces of felt onto a navy blue spotty cotton fabric, which gives a good night time feel then added felt stars and moon. Hand quilted it simply and added old buttons for a finishing touch!
