Owl Remote Control Holder

Hi everyone! I finally finished a non-running sewing project again :) It's been a while really, with all these races all the time... I had this project saved on my Pinterest account for ages, and for some reason I showed it to a friend from work who was about to leave for another job. Needless to say, she loved it and immediately wanted one. What else to do but make one for her?  Originally, I linked to the tutorial through a different website showing the owl in the most amazingly cute fabric, but it wasn't the original tutorial. I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to things like that. In short, to find the original tutorial (albeit with fabrics that are not my personal favourite, click HERE .  One thing you have to know is that this girl is serious about pink, so of course the owl had to be as pink as possible.

The course itself seemed a little short and according to my shiny new Garmin (I finally found one I liked!) it was only just over 3K. So having crossed the finish line, I had to keep going as I was also running for #Run3rd and I couldn't disappoint anyone by running less than the 5K really. Below are some pics of this excellent event, it was so nice to do a race just for fun! No one was going to get a PB with all these really cool things to see and photograph :) On my way to the run, I met a girl on the tube who was volunteering at the event. As we walked to the gathering point together , she kindly took this photo of me. The bf sadly couldn't make the run s
