Houndstooth the Owl

Finished....almost.

I tried to use almost every part of the old coat.

The buttons on the front and back.

The interfacing on the top of the wings and around the face. 

The satin lining under the wings.

Still a bit more tweaking to do but

I am excited for how he looks so far.

I thought that this old coat was a tweed, but a good friend reminded me that it is houndstooth.

So I am calling him:

Houndstooth the Owl

Old Tweed Coat..... New Project

Working all day on a new pattern. What was an old tweed coat

that I purchased at an estate sale has been deconstructed....

 

 

What was a bag of clay, has been molded and baked and painted.....

I can't wait to get to put it all together.
