Sew it Sunday: Bunny tutorial

With Easter looming right around the corner I thought that our first Sew it Sunday pattern could appropriately be this sweet and simple bunny. This is a great pattern for the beginner
toy maker/sewer and would look extra cute in your easter basket this year.
Let's get started!

Step one:

Gather your materials: Felt, stuffing, scissors, and thread in contrasting or complimenting colors.

Cut out all of your pieces from our Bunny Pattern

Step two:

Sew the face onto the body.

Step three:

Sew on the belly and add any details you would like. 

Here I've hand stitched the eyes and gave our bunny a little hair.

It looks great with safety eyes too, but this bunny is for a newborn.

Step four:

Sew the legs, arms, and ears together. If you would like to stuff them this would be the time to do it.

Step five:

Place all the piece, back, front, arms and legs together. 

Adjust all the pieces where you would like them and pin.

Step six: 

Sew around the edge of the bunny leaving a 1/8 inch border and a one inch opening.

Cut thread.

Step seven:

Stuff your bunny through your one inch opening and machine close.

Step eight:

Enjoy your new bunny!

You can be as original as you would like. This pattern is very simple and very adaptable. 

Have fun! Show us how your bunny came out on our Facebook fanpage

Sweet treat

I love holidays.
Not just most of them, or the big ones, but all of them. National pie day, halloween, christmas, teacher's appreciation day.. the list is enormous. Maybe it's the kid in me, or the idea of making a day a little more special than the rest, but whatever it is,  I can never resist finding new ways to treat little chef.
These white chocolate covered strawberries are perfect for  parents who want to make a healthy alternative to all of that candy, and maybe (just maybe) you can let the little ones in on the project.

aren't they adorable?

If you're not so much into DIY you can always buy a bunch from Harry and David
