Master class on making an “Owl” pillow with your own hands
For work we need scissors, paper, pencil. Let's draw the details of the pillow: the body with ears, eyes, pupils, beak and wings. You can use the “Owl” pillow pattern. We do it right away with allowances (one centimeter), so as not to add them later.
We attach the template to the fabric (it can be of any texture, you can even take an old but interesting wool vest), secure it with pins and transfer the pattern to the material.
We cut out our blanks. Their colors should be different, but of the same tone. And if you are sewing an owl for a child, then you can use bright colors that combine with each other.
We cut the eyes, wings and beak from felt. Connecting the parts of the eyes. We baste and then attach all the prepared parts to the body using a zigzag seam or a straight stitch.We connect the blanks together with the right sides inward and the wrong sides outward. We sew the two parts of the body together, leaving a hole so that we can turn the product inside out later.
We cut the seam allowances, trim them in the corners (leaving 2-3 mm) and turn them inside out. Fill with padding polyester. Sew up the remaining section by hand using a blind stitch.
Let’s imagine: you can sew a bow tie on a boy, and a bow on a girl’s ear; you can use lace, frills and other decorations for her. So we sewed “Owl”.
Pillow decoration in the shape of an owl (option 1)
To sew a pillow in the shape of an owl with our own hands, we will need a standard pillow and a cover for it. You can sew it yourself or find a ready-made one.
We will also need scraps of fabric, scissors, tailor's chalk and felt. You can get by with other fabric, but this pliable material is very good to work with. It is flexible, easy to sew even by hand, and its edges do not fray.

Wings for an owl
Let's start from the bottom. No pattern needed here. We try on two identical triangles from the corners. They will imitate wings. We draw by eye.
It is only important that both pieces of fabric turn out the same. For the wings, first fold the fabric and iron it. Then we prick the wings with pins and sew them to the cover (it’s best to use a sewing machine).
Useful tips
Almost every expectant mother can sew borders made of cotton fabric and padding polyester into a baby crib thanks to the step-by-step instructions suggested above. Below are tips from experts on making your own crib bumpers:
- When choosing the fabric and design of the future product, it is worth using your imagination, because experiments with the color and shape of the sides have a positive effect on the development of the baby.
- Fastenings such as Velcro and ties often do not withstand the pressure of the baby, who pulls on the side, trying to get up in the crib. Therefore, it is advisable to sew overlays from a single piece of fabric. The edges that have not been finished can be folded. This way they will be in the middle. After this, one seam is sewn along at least part of the ties.
- You can use ordinary rectangles as patterns.
- Holofiber is one of the best fillers for sides, which does not lose its shape even with frequent washing.
Pillow decoration in the shape of an owl (option 2)
Now we will make applications for another pillow. Draw a torso on paper. The outline of the owl is quite simple, so everything is done by eye.
Select the desired felt light and trace the pattern. Cut out the eyes on the same pattern. You can use the bottom of a glass or lid for the template.
Trace and cut out. We put white fabric on the inside, it will be the basis of the large bird's eyes, and sew it together. Then we cut out the pupils and nose from felt. Sew the finished shape to the cover.
In the same way, you can make a few more smaller owls and sew them on the cover. You can embroider a branch on which our owl will sit, you can make it out of felt and sew a yellow moon on top.
What the composition will be depends on your imagination and skills. As a last resort, you can get ideas on the Internet by looking at photos of handmade owl pillows, of which there are plenty.

Popular colors and prints: for princes and princesses
Borders for a newborn's bed are not only a way to protect the baby from shocks and drafts, but also an excellent option for useful decor for a child's room. Modern fabrics and a wide range of different designed crib bumpers make it possible to choose the ideal option for any interior.
The classic division - pink for girls and blue for boys - also works in the case of a crib protector. But designers advise preferably using delicate shades and be sure to add companion colors. So, a pink-gray or yellow-blue side will look more neat and stylish.
Blue color is popular for boys
Neutral base colors (beige, gray, milky) are ideal if the crib is in the parent's bedroom. In this case, the decor allows you to harmoniously fit a children's item into an adult interior. And so that the side does not seem boring to the little one, you can provide a second set of covers or additional decor.
It is better to avoid sides that are too dark or too bright so as not to create an atmosphere that is unhealthy for the child.
