have a super easy and sweet tutorial for you today i wanted to create a bunny pouch that i could sew up quick with all enclosed seams and no buttonholes it is sew easy and youll be able to whip up a bunch in a short amount of time what youll need 4 squares of fabric 5x5 2 outer and 2 lining 2 sqaures of fabric for your bunny ears 5x5 you can use contrasting fabric for these seam ripper ribbon for drawstring step one with your contrasting fabric use a fabric marking pen and draw two ears place fabric right sides together and sew along the line trim around each ear step two turn ears right side out and press seam step three take your two outer fabric squares and sew along three edges clip corners take your two lining fabric squares and sew along three edges but leave a 2 opening to turn the pouch in a later step step four very important do not skip this step press the seam open on the outer fabric squares near the top raw edge this will allow you to thread your ribbon casing and keep you from having to sew button hole openings for the ribbon repeat for the other side seam step five turn the lining square pouch right side out place inside outer fabric so the right sides of both are facing each other step six now fit your bunny ears in between the layers of the pouches you will want to slide them in so all the raw edges line up at the top step seven pin in place all along the top edge sew along the edge with a 1 2 seam allowance step eight after sewing around entire circle bring the lining out to find the 2 opening flip pouch right sides out through the 2 opening of the lining sew the lining opening closed step nine stuff the lining down into the pouch i forgot to take a tutorial picture for this step but you will want to sew a casing 1 2 below the top of the pouch you can see the casing stitches in the picture below then take your seam ripper and remove the 3 4 stitches between the bottom casing stitch and the top of the pouch step ten take one ribbon approximately 16 and with a safety pin insert the ribbon all the way around the casing one ribbon will enter on the right side seam and exit on the right side seam step eleven repeat step ten only inserting the second ribbon on the left side seam and running it through the entire casing back to the left side step twelve knot the ends of the ribbon trim off any excess length that you dont want and pull tight to create the drawstring im looking forward to filling them up with treats for the kids on easter pin the pictures below to save the directions for your next sewing project and this project that i made

the morning fishsticks designs little kids grow 6 27 14 make it handmade rebel and malice ali cat co raeanna s story since i have the floor right now i am going to give you the long version for me sewing became part of my life as a little girl my grandma eva mae smith loved to sew and made many outfits for me and my brothers as well as all my doll clothes when i was around 10 12 she spent time teaching me how to sew on my mom s sewing machine in our basement that sewing machine didn t get a lot of use although my mom had good intentions of using it we only got it out a few times to do projects like a quilt and bible cover for one of our homeschool co op classes one year in college i had grand hopes of relearning and stole my mom s rarely used sewing machine it ended up making the move with me when i got married after graduating but unfortunately it sat in my closet until our bed broke yep our bed broke not due to any adult content trying to play fix it i found that if i propped that heavy duty sewing machine hard case under the wooden bed frame where the screws had been stripped we could manage without having to buy any new furniture so for about 5 years my sewing machine served the purpose of playing bed frame now we reach the chapter of the birth of my sweet baby boy christian in 2009 i was determined to learn how to sew and use this heavy duty 1980s sewing machine so i looked up videos on youtube and took the beginning sewing class at joanns it mustered my courage to try my first pattern and you have the good fortune to check out the pictures i documented the process in a facebook photo album this was my first time laying out a pattern and figuring out how to construct it all i made a ton of mistakes i think the worst of all the mistakes is this fabric what was i thinking i also made a huge mistake by cutting my snap tape the wrong size so i had to cut the legs off and make it a shorts romper i started scouring the internet during my lunch hour at school i taught elementary music k 5 from 2002 2011 and i found chat rooms and message boards that led me to children s corner patterns i was so lucky that i lived less than an hour away from their store the johnny was my first children s corner pattern and i fell in love with their designs i was so proud of my first real success and went on to basically learn how to sew through the children s corner patterns i made a ton of jon jons for christian and as gifts as well as several lucys and frannie baby i also learned how to picture smock with the johnny pattern now enter the chapter of the birth of eva mae in 2011 and my blog start up my first blog post january 2012 having 2 years of sewing experience before eva mae was born i was ready to try to share my knowledge so i started my blog you may have noticed that my grandma s name is carried on with my daughter i wrote a lengthy post about her in a project run play challenge here it was also after the birth of eva mae that i discovered pdf patterns this peasant dress emma by the sweetest patterns was the very first pdf pattern i bought i found some great blogs sew mama sew made made by rae me sew crazy and craftiness is not optional were the first blogs that i followed emma dress and modified hat from simplicity 7994 having a heart for teaching and no longer fulfilling that passion in the classroom i turned to sewing and felt fulfilled whenever i shared my knowledge with other local moms or created a tutorial for my blog i taught 5 classes some in my home and some at the public library to help moms learn the basics of using their machine and that sewing wasn t anything to be afraid of i ve always said if i could teach myself you can too we all start somewhere and i am a testimony that if you stick with something you will see a return investment i would have never thought that jessica of me sew crazy would pick me to be on her sewing rabbit team or that fabric companies would seek me out or that i would find a passion in designing pdf patterns meeting bloggers through sew along contests and in real life has inspired me and given a sense of purpose to my hobby and i am so excited to see what is to come in the next chapter so why do you sew when did you learn write your story and share it here or maybe this post has inspired you to try for the first time if so let me recommend a sewing 101 series for you here an inlinkz link up posted by raeanna goss at 7 00 am 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday june 21 2014 30 days of
