As promised, here are some photos of the fleece hat that I made for Leah’s baby owl costume.
You needed to see the whole picture, so I got her dressed back up in her owl costume this morning. (The Halloween night photos were all ugly with the bright flash.) I found a free pattern here on Tracy’s Treasury for a fleece hat. I printed it out at 75% like she suggests for a baby. Really easy to make! Only $4.00 worth of fleece, and I still have enough to make a couple more. I’m never buying hats for my kids again!!!
I added little feather tuft things (yes that’s the technical term) on the sides, a little beak, and two sleepy embroidered eyes.
And just for fun, here’s a photo of the back of the costume again. Go here to see the costume tutorial.
Have a great weekend!

Very cute!! Just made one for my 11 month old, but in bright pinks, turquoise, and green. Fleece hat pattern no longer there though. :(

Oh, thanks for letting me know. Looks like she's no longer a .com but a blogspot.com. Just fixed the links.
