After seeing cute vintage style owl cushions in lots of shops I decided to save myself the £15 plus they seem to cost everywhere and make my own. This proved to be the perfect way to use up scraps of fabric, the all the patches on the front can be different fabrics. I used iron on bondaweb to fix all the pieces in place before machine stitching it all over the top, as this meant I didn't run the risk of the tiny pieces moving while I was sewing.
The stuffing was an old duvet inner that Bronwyn had ripped up, so I think these little fellows are very eco friendly and recycling unwanted bits!
In future I think I will make some stuffed with dried beans so they can be used as doorstops.
