This week we hand sewed "Stuffed Alien Wabbits" from soft polar fleece fabric.
In the interest of time, I pre-traced the bunny template so the children could focus on the hand-sewing part of the craft.
Using
embroidery floss and a "crewel #2" sewing needle, the facial features
were first sewn into place. A thick knot was used for the pupil of the
eye, and corners of the mouth.
For
outer the edges of the bunny, a simple "over-under stitch" or "whip
stitch" worked beautifully. For those who have a little more stitching
experience, a "blanket stitch" is also nice.
We stuffed the bunnies with polyester fiberfill purchased from Joannes fabrics.
Time allowed: 2 hours
