Button Bunny Plushie

On my daughter's holiday gift list, she put down "Button Bunny"...well actually it said "butin buny."
I had absolutely no idea what that was,  but I was willing to give it a try. 

I had some of this colorful plaid and fuzzy-minky fur in my fabric stash that would be perfect for a stuffed animal.
I made my girl a bear last year, 
but it looked more like a baby seal.

 She still sleeps with it every night though!!!

I vowed to make the body better on any other plushie I make.
 This one was most definitely shaped better.

Gingerbread man??? Starfish???

I cut 2 body shapes, 1 neck tie fabric, and 2 fur ear shapes and 2 plaid ear shapes.

I sewed  both of the fur and plaid ear shapes RSF, and turned them right side out like so.

I left the bottom of the ear open, so I could easily turn it right side out.

Then I pinned the ears sandwiched between 
the body pieces RSF.
I sewed up the edges of the body. Making sure to leave an opening for stuffing, and enough room to turn it right side out.

The bottom of the ears stuck out a bit like so...

Flipped it right side out!!!
Sally The Cat liked it too!

I sewed on some button eyes that my daughter unknowingly picked out, 
embroidered a little nose and mouth, stuffed him up,
 sewed it shut, and put on his neck tie.


Lookin' Good!

Oops! I forgot a bunny tail!!!

I took some scraps and wadded up a wee little tail to sew to the backside.

Awwww! So cute!


I hope she likes this one as much as the first!!!!

See you next time!

Graduation Gown not just for Graduates Anymore

This discarded, and loved-no-more graduation gown was calling to me from the thrift store rack. It was perfect for this time of year when teachers say goodbye tearfully to some, and not-so-tearfully to others.  But we love them all anyway.  Heeeeey!  Over here!  Buy me and give me a new life!! So I did. Sally liked the dress much better once I picked off those sleeves! She thought it was a perfect resting spot. I chopped the bottom a bit, folded it twice because it was fray-fray-central, and I hemmed it all up.  I could use the chopped off bottom piece as a belt  or use an existing one.  Choices.... The dress is all white so this time, I decided to go with a darker brown belt,  and some metallic sandals. Congrats and good luck  to all the 2015 graduates!  I'm ready for the ceremony! See you next time!

Lisa's Sew Along with Cassie! Part ONE

  My awesome teacher friend Cassie Stephens, has a great Art Teacher blog. She is an amazing artist, teacher, and she sews too! Cassie had this great idea to start a sew-along. Check out her amazingness at www.cassiestephens.blogspot.com I will be sewing an art apron with her tutorials right along side her. This is my progress so far:   Cassie is all professional and stuff making a pattern for her apron, but I just went ahead and traced an existing one.   Trace and snip! This Apron will end up being reversable! My Grams gave me some amazing fabric, so I am putting it to use for this reversable apron. Thanks Grams! I love you bunches! Very patriotic. Both sides cut. My Grams gave me that electric blue fur fabric, and I thought it would be  super awesome for a pocket. Who doesnt like furry pockets?   I had some of that cute kitty fabric left over from my teacher dress. Check out my Art Teacher Dress H...

Lisa's sew along with Cassie Part II

I continued to sew the pockets for each side, and I had a beautiful red and white scarf from Grams that I thought would be perfect for the neck.  One side. And, the other. I put the scarf in the middle of the two sides. (RSF)       Hi Scarf! Then I pinned it down, so just the bottom of the scarf was sticking out the top. The scarf was safely tucked inside. I did the same thing to add the grossgrain ribbon for the ties on the side. I flipped it right side out, and sewed the bottom together. One side.   And, The other!   Detail of the ribbon. Mixing those patterns! Hanging on my office door, ready to go!
