We've been invaded. A flock of owls has come to roost at our home...
A few months ago my six-year-old granddaughter and I were browsing Pinterest when she asked if I could make her an owl purse. I love it when I get requests from my children or grandchildren for something specific, so in preparation of the Christmas season I whipped up a pattern last week and got busy...
Normally, when I make a pattern I need to tweak it after the first go around, but this time the pattern worked from the get go! That was awesome, because I knew I wouldn't be making just one. I would be making a flock.
Four of our little granddaughters will be receiving these -- along with matching coin purse -- for Christmas. I asked each momma to measure across the body of each little recipient, to make the strap length perfect for each one. The two, three and four-year olds are getting one size bag and the six-year-old is getting a slightly larger version (blue in above photo).
I must admit... I'm in love.
For the month of December 2014 I made this pattern and tutorial
available free of charge to the readers of my blog.

my
Little Girl Owl Crossbody Purse Pattern and Tutorial
is now available for sale in my Etsy store.
Please go here to purchase a "personal use" pattern!
A "commercial use" pattern is also available in my Etsy shop.
The commercial use pattern gives the buyer license to make and sell items made from this pattern.
Both the small and larger version of the bag are
included in the pattern.
These little owls will be flying to destinations all over the U.S. in time for Christmas.
I'm pretty sure they will love the little humans that will take them in!

Hi Suzanne, Cute purse. I wondered if you were busy with an "owl project" when I saw some pins you have on pintrest. :) These little guys/gals :) make me smile. I haven't quite decided about the granddaughters Christmas gifts yet but this sure likes one I would like to try. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. :)
opps a Typo: "sure looks like one I would like to try...."
Loooove these!!! Super cute!
A friend of mine made your Maggie the taggie owl a while ago,and I thought it was the cutest taggie I had ever seen. She gave me the name of your blog a few days ago because my daughter is having her first baby (my 1st grandchild) and her sister-in-law just had a baby. This is an adorable purse, and I'm sure I'll be making it in a few years. Thank you so much for sharing!
This is just too cute. I have two granddaughters who would love this purse. I'm hoping the smaller version will be small enough for the 2yr old. She LOVES stashing Grandma's fabric scraps and carrying them around.
These are adorable - I see a flock of them in my future!
Love it!
My Granddaughters love all things owl. These are adorable- so kind of you to be this generous. Thank You so much. I just found you today, and I will be a new follower by email. Thanks again
