In this video, I’ll show you how to sew the Chumleys Owl Purse – a soft, plush character bag that’s perfect for kids, gifts, or anyone who loves cute sewing projects
The Chumleys are a collection of fun, friendly characters designed to be sewn at home using fleece fabrics, which makes them beautifully soft and cuddly. This project features Hoot! the Chumley Owl, made as a mini purse with a zip across the back and a padded face that gives him plenty of character and cuddliness.
There are lots of Chumleys characters available to sew, and at the moment there are five different Chumleys purse patterns to choose from – each one designed to be enjoyable to make and lovely to use or gift.
In this tutorial, I’ll cover:
How to sew a plush character purse
Tips for sewing with fleece
Adding a zip to a soft toy-style project
Creating a padded, cuddly character face
