So, I thought I would make Golf Club Covers in the Woodland Animals (like my Messy Bun Hats) - the Fox covers a Driver; and the Wolf and Owl will cover all others. I think the trio turned out super cute. I hope you all will enjoy these as much as I did in designing them. These covers not only make a great Father's Day gift, but would also make a super nice Birthday or Christmas gift.
I'd love to know your thoughts on this trio.

Your trio of woodland animals club covers look really interesting and I will probably make them but what I really am hoping to find is one with a penguin head. Would your Christmas Penguin stuffed animal or one of your penguin messy hats possibly be usable to adapt for this? I'm hoping to make these for my 8 yr old grandson who has been taking golfing lessons for several months. Thank you for any assistance/advice you can give me.
ReplyDeleteHi, Ann Marie. Yes, you can adapt the pattern to penguin colors and then just use the facial features, ears, etc from my stiffed pattern to add to the club cover. I’d love to see a pic if you make it. My email is: rilla2u@gmail.com. I’d love to add the pic to my post and credit you for making it.
