I've been working on this project on & off during this past week. "Olivia"...as I call her ... lol ... is based on my "girly ruffle purse" that I showed you last week... with parts of her based on another owl purse I was making last summer. I "LUV" how she turned out! This is actually my second one that I have made this week (used the same fabric combo...just changed the eye/nose design).... and this one, without the embroidery, took me about 2 hours last night to sew. I digitised the eyes and nose and sewed them out in some heavy vintage felt (eyes) and some wool felt (nose)....it's a very quick stitch, like 4000 stitches. I had oodles of this yellow print fabric that I purchased off ebay a few years ago ... had wondered what I was going to do with it and found it PERFECT for "Olivia"! I think this design will be well recieved at my Farmers Markets this summer. I can't wait to swing one over my own shoulder as well!

Very cute. I'm sure it will be a sell out at the market! *4U

Love the bag. Love anything to do with owls. L

Sooooo cute!

this is a HOOT! I'm sure she will be a big hit! But not sure about the name? Isn't there a pig trademarked Olivia? You might want to check into that as this is really cute & I don't want to see you run into any complications. Not really sure how this works but better to be safe than sorry! Hugs Loralye

thank you...glad you enjoyed it!

This bag is soooo cute! I am a bit old to be using one like this but I love the design! I collect owls. I know age does not matter any longer but I really feel old. My ADULT son has made a very old person out of me in the last 2+ years. His heart attack has changed his personality and not for the good! I do not even know him any longer..... Funny how feeling old makes you act old also! I guess I should not give a hoot(pun intended) but it sure has! You did a wonderful job with the designing and the materials as well as the actual putting it together. You have alot of potential of being a very good designer!
