Owl Pillow FREE Templates | Corinne Lapierre

Here's where you can find the free downloadable templates for Corinne Lapierre's Owl Pillow, as featured in the Half Yard™ magazine!

Beginner-friendly and made from felt, this guest designer project by Corinne Lapierre is a joy to stitch and will add extra coziness to your home!

Corinne says...

One thing that always fascinates people about owls is their magnetic gaze. I wanted my felt owl to have this quality. I used retro colours for mine and played with the contrasts such as the turquoise with orange and brown. These three colours alone take me straight back to my childhood but you could go for a more natural look with soft browns or for a fresh pastel look. The key is to have fun in choosing and mixing your colours and do not be scared to be bold in your choices.

This project can be found in Corinne's book Fabulous Felt (2016).

Where can I find the project step by steps?

To make this project, read the Half Yard™ digital magazine! In issue #3 you can find plenty more exclusive projects as well as some member stories, behind-the-scenes club news, and some words from Debbie.
