Very cute potholder.
|
I find that aside from grading the seams I wet the seam with my squirty bottle, then birth then using a bone file or scissors(carefully) run the edge of the file all along the seam, then press with a hot iron...btw....I'm a bit of an owl fanatic...I may steal this idea....its super cute
|
I would leave the bottom or the side open to turn.
|
Your owl is really a hoot. Don't have any suggestions other than patience, and lots of it; he is certainly worth the trouble
|
I would leave about 2 inches open at the bottom - he is so cute!

You may want to piece that back as two pieces, and leave a large opening in that seam which can be handstitched after turning, as in this tutorial for a pin cushion:

LOL! Sorry the first thing that came to mind when reading this title was, "Yes, a c-section is easier, but the recovery is harder." Super cute pot holder though!
|
LOL Never heard it called birthing before but that seems very appropriate. I too am often frustrated with the turning out.
|
I have this pattern and have made several -I started leaving my opening at the bottom and found it much easier to turn-I take a knitting needle to poke out his ears
