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

Final section and 6 days to launch….

I'm cutting it super close. Some things took longer than I anticipated and the flu took me down for a few days, but I'm back on track and working on my last section for the catalog and website. 

Learn is by far my favorite section for the store. It's the toys that develop thinking processes and personalities… I have to dig a little deeper in my designs and push past just cutesy and marketable. 

I love this piece for instance. A tanagram block set of sorts… or a child's first abstract art set, whatever you'd like. Each face has a different pattern enabling the child to create their own patterns or designs. 

Some designs are pretty straight forward, zig zags or lines, and others, (like this sample) create a huge modge podge of designs and awesomeness.. 

Can't wait till launch! So much more to show you guys.
