Yesterday we went to the first birthday party of a little man called Arthur Bunny. I’m all for making presents (more personal, saves money, more fun!), and Mum and I thought that the obvious gift was to make a bunny, for A. Bunny!
I made a very simple pattern from scrap paper (uneven peanut shape for the body and long ovals for the ears), and chose two different green polka dot fabrics.
While I cut the fabrics out and sewed the ears, Mum embroidered some green felt with a. bunny to go on the front. Then, while she turned the ears right way out, I zigzag stitched the felt onto the bunny’s tummy.
I then sewed the front and back together (with the ears pinned inside), turned everything right way out and pressed it all.
The ears somehow ended up a little wide and just needed a couple of stitches to give them more shape and reposition them.
Then stuffing and sewing closed, button eyes, embroidered mouth and a jaunty little rick rack scarf…
…and voila! One cute little bunny.
A bunny for A. Bunny! Happy birthday, little man.

Love this – I always think homemade pressies are the best (esp. when someone creative like you makes them!)
Hi Sabrina. I love my pin cushion too! Someone I knew used to have one when I was a kid and I always loved it, so when I saw them for sale in Singapore a couple of years ago, I had to buy one! I got it at the same place where I bought all you kids those little boxes with the same kind of people on them. Hope you’re having a happy day. Lucy x
