Hi Kathy! Did you get your soap yet?? If not, I bet today or tomorrow...I sent out 4 bars!! I appliqued the owl...then just started cutting! I never really have any patterns for my bags...as I love to create them as I go! The lining of the bags come over the top...a piece is then sewed around the raw edges of the lining, (after you have tucked your straps in there!). It give a seamless look to the inside of the bag! I bet you could figure this out...give one a whirl...any questions, you have my email!!

You would like this design, Shirlene. I've actually stitched out the owl in felt (on another try) ...but skipped the applique stitching (didn't think it was needed on the felt, plus it just looked "cool"). Without the applique stitch...and not stitching the eyes (adding buttons again), it REALLY stitched quick and looks so cute! When I do something with that piece, I will post it so you can see what I'm trying to explain. Doing it this way would be sooo cute on a sweatshirt, as it would give the "fraying" effect around the edges of the owl. You know me...I love owls anyway, so this design will be used often!
