I’m making Easter Bunnies and Cheeky Chicks. Shhh, don’t tell the grandchildren. It’s a surprise to be posted along with their Easter eggs.
I am using a pattern from Simply Sewing magazine featuring a free rabbit sewing pattern by Jo Carter (https://www.gathered.how/sewing-and-quilting/sewing/how-to-sew-a-bunny-toy-softie/). I have plenty of fabric scraps left over from previous sewing projects and have chosen to use denim and pretty patterned cottons. Both are easy to sew with and the seams are crisp and don’t stretch when stuffed. I also used fleece for one of the bunnies so that he is soft and cuddly.
I haven’t made a lot of toys however this pattern I will make again and again as it’s easy to follow and I am really pleased with the results.
I have adapted the same pattern to make the Cheeky Chicks, designing the wings, beak, feet and its groovy hairstyle.
If you are interested in giving a bunny or chick a home, please contact me. They are £10.00 each plus postage of £3.00. Bunny measures 37cm in height including ears and Chick is 27cm high.
