Just tossing an idea out there...what if you make the head moveable? If you sew the head/body separately, and join the two pieces with buttons (like washers) on the inside and a bit of embroidery floss stringing them together, the head could rotate like an owl does. Sydney is old enough she wouldn't pull it apart like a younger person. :)
I can't wait to see your owl doll! What a great idea! It was so good to meet Sydney at the BBB, she is charming!

I went through all of my patterns. I have dolls, cats, dogs, bunnies, frogs, monkeys, bears and a few other animals, but no owls. If you wanted to change the owl to something else, let me know. I could probably send you a pattern for it.
Take care

There was a very cute stuffed owl pattern in "Sew Simple" a few months back. I'm not sure how realistic of an owl you are looking for, but this one was adorable, but not "real" looking.

Wonderful, Alee! That's a great doll--looks like recycled wool or felting?

Oh my goodness! She's going to love it. His little tummy begs to be squeezed and loved.

She already does love it! She had to keep rescuing it from Nora- I guess Nora needs one two. And I guess I did an okay job because as I was sewing on the head (sorry Michelle the Button washer thing didn't work how I tried it) Nora kept saying "Bird! Bird!!" Sydney and I tossed him back and forth a bit and his wings go out like an owls- It's pretty cool!

Aaaaw! Love your description of the girls playing with your owl. What a sense of satisfaction it must be to see them enjoy something you made. :)
