1. Easter Bunny Bag - Free Project

   Posted on 9:58am Saturday 14th Mar 2015

   Hi everyone, here is another cute Easter project for you: How to make an Easter Bunny bag!

   You will need: 3 different fabrics, light weight interfacing, sewing machine, scissors, ribbon, pins.

   Step 1: cut 6 x 5inch squares, 2 of each colour.

   

   Step 2: Take 2 pink squares, (I used some iron on light interfacing to make the ears stand up), place the fabric right sides together, make a pattern for ears, sew, cut out and turn the right sides out. Then take 2 purple squares, right sides together, sew around the 3 sides (this is the outside of my bag). And then take 2 yellow squares, right sides together but this time sew the 2 long sides and part of the bottom, leave an opening so the bag can be turned the right way.

   

   Step 3: Now place the ears the to outside of the bag, place the purple bag and ears, inside the yellow bag, and sew around the top, careful removing the pins, when turning the bag.

   

   

   Step 4: Sew along the bottom of the yellow bag to close the opening. Push the yellow bag inside the purple bag and machine the top, this is where you will thread the ribbon, so leave it big enough for the ribbon to go through.

   

   

   Step 5: I made a small hole in either side of the bag at the top to thread my ribbon through.

   

   All done!

2. Easter Bunny - March Project of the Month

   Posted on 9:29am Saturday 14th Mar 2015

   Hi everyone, for this month's project of the month we will show you how to (quickly) make some adorable Easter bunnies!

   You will need: fabric, sewing machine or needle & thread, stuffing, pinking shears and a bunny template.

   Step 1: Pin 2 pieces of fabric wrong sides together. Using your bunny template (or free hand) draw the bunny onto the reverse of your fabric. Machine or hand stitch around the bunny leaving the bottom open.

   

   Step 2: Cut out your bunny using pinking shears being careful as to not cut the stitching, lighly stuff the bunny and close the seam! All done how super quick was that?!

   

   A great project to do with children. Why not make bunnies in different sizes? You could easily add eyes and noses for extra details, or how about a pompom tail?

   

   Happy Crafting!

5. Easter Egg cone free project March

   Posted on 7:42am Friday 1st Mar 2013

   Happy March everyone! we have two fabulous free tutorials for you today! First we have the easter egg cone, and our second project is how to make an easter button wreath. Happy crafting

   Carole & Gina

   You will need: Paper, two different fabrics, sewing machine, needle & thread, buttons/embellishments and ribbon.

   Step 1: Making your cone template. This is really easy to do, draw a "slice" (think cake) on a piece of paper, fold over one edge so it's doubled, and cut it out.

   

   Step 2: Cut one cone shape out from both of your fabrics, then machine alone the top edge with the "right" sides together, and clip the edge with care making sure you do not cut the stitches.

    

   

   Step 3: Open out the cone (see picture) and fold over, still with the right sides together. And now place 2 pins slightly apart on the plain coloured fabric, and sew along this edge, but leaving the piece between the 2 pins open (this is used for turning).

   

   Step 4: Carefully turn your cone the right way out, through the gap. Hand sew or machine the gap closed, and then carefully push the plain coloured fabric inside. See picture, I have also turned down the top a little.

   

   Step 5: How to decorate your cone. You can add anything you like to your cone, I have sew on some ric rac on the inside of the top, so when you fold the top down it can be seen. I have also added some ribbon handles and sew some buttons on them to hide the edge of them.

   

   

   Here are some finished cones! we have filled them with easter eggs for the children. Or you could add some chocolates, gift vouchers or soaps for mum for mother's day!
