owl macaron coin purse

Hoot, Hoot, Hoot… Craft Passion has created a new species of the owl  “The Macaron Owl”, aka, the Owl Macaron Coin Purse. They are a sewed from pear-shaped macaron purse case and zipper. Akin to the original design concept, the Macaron Coin Purse, these Macaron Owls are tiny little zipper coin purse (about 3″ tall) which has a narrow space for storage. It is good enough to place some small pieces of jewelry like earrings, rings; maybe to keep some small coins, folded money; a place to keep a small piece of note that wrote your shopping list and reminder etc. Or, simply use it as a key chain or hanging ornament or locket.

After spending some long hour to design and to sew the first Owl Macaron Coin Purse, I am excited with the outcome. Though it is a bit tedious on the patchwork process however it is a totally “craft satisfaction” project to sew. Similar to any new craft you are trying, the first one is always taking a longer time to complete. As you have gained the experience from the first one, the following pieces will be much faster.

The Owl Macaron Coin Purse is just too adorable and I can’t help myself to sew more. With a little tweak on the fabric, I have sewed up 5 of them in different colors. Please meet (from the bottom, clockwise): Sky, Sun, Grass, Rose and Night. Which one do you like the most?

They are great to sew as a gift for girls; for your mom, aunties, daughters, girlfriends, nieces, cousins, neighbors, colleagues, etc… Aside from it adorableness and charming looking, the owl also symbolizes wisdom, foresight, intuition, and keeper of sacred knowledge.

Often, I received feedback from loyal crafter that they can’t find the materials needed in my pattern and tutorial. I really feel bitter in the bottom of my heart as I do understand the hopeless feeling that one devoted crafter is unable to create something she desires to make due to lack of appropriate materials. By the reason of this, Craft Passion has opened an online shop to support the materials I am using here in my pattern.

Instructions with pictures to assist in sewing Owl Macaron Coin Purse

owl-macaron-1Gather all the materials and tools as listed above. Get ready the template by downloading it from here, print on card stock and cut them out.

 

owl-macaron-51 & 2. Trace Body template on Foam Interfacing or thick batting and it’s respective fabrics A & B. Trace all the markings on Fabric A. Mark center lines for the rest of the pieces.
3 & 4. Trace and cut felt pieces according to their respective templates.

 

owl-macaron-21 & 2. Trace forehead, belly, wings, and eyes on the non-shiny side of the freezer paper. Cut them out. Note, flip the wings to get the mirror image for the left and right side since they are not in a symmetrical shape.
3 & 4. Trace 2 Inner Plate template on the Stiff Woven Interfacing. Cut them out.

 

owl-macaron-3Iron to fuse them on the wrong side of their respective fabrics.
Cut 1/4″ from the edge of the template.
Trace the Zipper End Wrap and cut it out too.

 

owl-macaron-4Sew running stitch along with the seam allowance at those places that you are going to sew slip stitch to the owl body. Take note of the tiny markings on the template to get the correct position. Pull thread to gather the seam allowance and hence fold it in. Iron to set the shape.
Baste the Body pieces to its foam interfacing. Iron to fuse the foam interfacing to the fabric.

 

owl-macaron-6By referring to the markings, align Belly and Eye templates to the front Body piece of the owl, trace the outlines.

 

owl-macaron-71. Place the belly fabric piece and slip stitch the folded edge onto the body. Stitches must go through the foam interfacing or the batting. The thread must be pulled tight enough so that it is not visible when you stretch the fabric.
2 & 3. Peel off the freezer paper and take it off from the fabric. If the freezer paper is hard to peel off (which usually will not happen), lightly spray some water on the paper to weaken the bond.

 

owl-macaron-8Sew running stitch at places that are outside the inner border of the body.

 

owl-macaron-9Sew to attach the beak.

 

owl-macaron-10Place Eye fabric piece and slip stitch the folded edge of the owl body. Peel off the freezer paper and take it out. Sew running stitch for the top which is outside the inner border.

 

owl-macaron-11Align and trace the body, wings and forehead templates on the body.

 

owl-macaron-12Sew the wings onto the body with a slip stitch at the folded edge and running stitch at the outside. Remember to take out the freezer paper before sewing the running stitches.

 

owl-macaron-13Place the eye felt pieces of the eye area, you may do a small tiny stitch to secure them in place. Use an awl to poke a small hole at where you want to put the black brad pins. Install the brad pins as the black of the eyes.

 

owl-macaron-14Fold the yarn into 8 strands or more if you want a thicker eyebrow hair.
Place it on the forehead area, spread them nicely and sew.

 

owl-macaron-15Place the Forehead fabric piece on the head, sew slip stitch at the folded edge and running stitch at the outside. Again, please don’t forget to take out the freezer paper.

 

owl-macaron-16Bring a few strands of yarns at the side upward and deviate to the side, make a few stitches near the edge of the forehead to secure the yarn in an upward direction. You may use a little PVA white glue to do this too.
This complete the patchwork of the front part of the owl macaron coin purse.

 

owl-macaron-17Sew running stitches along with the seam allowance of the front piece with nylon thread or strong sewing thread.
Pull to curl up the owl body.

 

owl-macaron-181. Insert a Pear Shaped Macaron Coin Purse Case into it. Pull the thread and gather the fabric onto the cover snugly. Turn to the front and adjust the position of the body so that it is symmetrical. Knot the thread.
2. Sew horizontally across the sides lacing through in zigzag pattern, pull tight to stretch out the fabric and bring it close to the macaron case.
3. Repeat the same vertically.
Inspect the edges and make sure they are nice and neat without any bump or overlapping.

 

owl-macaron-19This is how the owl will look like after completing all the above steps.

 

owl-macaron-21Cover the macaron case with the fabric and foam interfacing of the back body as well.

 

owl-macaron-20Mark the edges of the macaron case, this is where we are going to stitch the zipper on.
Set them aside.

 

owl-macaron-22We need 7″ zipper for this owl macaron coin purse and we need to shorten the zipper from 8″ to 7″. If you are using a normal nylon coil zipper, please omit the following few steps, just cut away the extra length with scissors. The zipper shortening steps are applicable to both metal and plastic zipper.
Measure and mark 7″ from the bottom stop of the zipper.

 

owl-macaron-23Pull out the metal teeth form the zipper until the mark, about 8 teeth from each side. Place back the top stop of the zipper.
Click here for more details on how to shorten a metal zipper.

 

owl-macaron-24Sew to join the zipper tape together above the top stops.
Cut away the extra zipper tape.

 

owl-macaron-251. Fold the ribbon into half and sew it below the bottom stop with ends facing zipper end.
2. Fold the zipper right side together and sew to join it into a ring. Trim the end to about 1/4″ from the stitching line.
3. Fold the Zipper End Wrap fabric into half then fold a seam allowance of 1/4″. Sew to wrap the zipper end.
4. Bend the binder to the top stop side and sew it onto the zipper. Clip away the extra fabric at the side of the zipper.

 

owl-macaron-26Mark the sewing line of the zipper tape, it is about 1/8″ after the teeth or 3/8″ from the center of the teeth. You can do the marking in advance, before sewing up the zipper to form a ring.

 

owl-macaron-27Mark the center of the zipper length, it is going to align with the bottom center of the owl.

 

owl-macaron-28If you feel the yarns are messy to handle, tie it up before proceed with the zipper sewing.

 

owl-macaron-29Align the zipper with a ribbon loop to the top center of the owl. Sew the zipper to the edge of the owl body with a slip stitch. The stitching must get into the foam interfacing or the batting as well.
Eyeballing the distance of the center markings of the zipper and bottom center of the owl, adjust the stitching distance in order the 2 markings are able to meet as close as possible.
Repeat the same to the back body of the owl.

 

owl-macaron-30Trim away the yarn of the owl’s eyebrow.

 

owl-macaron-31The Owl Macaron Coin Purse before stitching up the inner plate.
Important: Since the shape of this macaron is in pear shape, you will need to pay attention to the center lines alignment of the owl and the zipper. If they are not meeting the center lines near enough, the front and back body of the owl will not be matched.

 

owl-macaron-33Align the inner plate to the zipper, slip stitch it to the stitching line of the owl body.
