Popper Charms by Dotty Owl

April 19, 2018 Dotty Owl - Beautiful Sewn Items Leave a comment

There’s a very good reason why Dotty Owl has been quiet the last few weeks… Since early January I have been working my socks off on a brand new and totally unique product range. It features sparkles, cute animals, rainbows, rose gold & bows! Everything is very girly at the moment – with a view to adding some similar products more aimed at boys in the future.

‘Popper Charms by Dotty Owl’ will be launched at the beginning of May – so watch this space for lots more information and giveaways on my Facebook Dotty Owl page too! I am just sooooo excited!

Megan Dress Hack – Tilly & The Buttons

September 25, 2017 Dotty Owl - Beautiful Sewn Items Leave a comment

I have been really busy at Dotty Owl these past few weeks – but I was so pleased with how this dress hack turned out (made in the summer) I couldn’t resist adding it to Dotty Owl. It combines a skirt section from an Oliver Bonas dress with a bodice that I created from the Megan Dress by Tilly & the Buttons. The result is this lovely dress for a friend. More information and pictures can be found here.
