Okay, I went on a burlap bunny binge. I know this comes a little late for bunny season, but they are so fun to make! You really cannot mess them up and they make a great sewing project for beginners. Cut two pieces of burlap into a rectangle--maybe 5"x3". You can draw a bunny form on the burlap with sharpie marker and zig-zag stitch on the lines. (Or just free-sew if you like to skip steps). Start stitching at the bottom and go up around and back down-leave the bottom open. I did sew around the ears for my kids. Stuff fluff (someone suggested cotton balls might work if you don't have stuffing on hand). It's not necessary to stuff the ears. Now sew the bottom closed, and cut excess burlap from around the stitching, just don't cut into your stitches. Draw details on with a sharpie. I tried some embroidery, but liked the simple and rustic look better. Add ribbon, buttons, etc for fun. I also sponged on some pink stamp ink.
Carson made accessories for his bunny.
Wyatt was pretty proud of his first sewing project.

Amy, those are so cute and fun! And you have the boys sewing, that's great, I didn't even know you sewed! Breanna will be very excited to make some of these, and Levi might want to also.... not so sure about a 2yr old sewing, tho... =)
So cute! I'm impressed that your boys are taken up with sewing these days :-) They'll be well rounded men!
