Island Batik Ambassador June "Funky Friends Factory" Pattern Challenge

 


The Island Batik Ambassador Challenge for June was sponsored by Funky Friends Factory.  We had our choice of one of their patterns and I chose the Baby Bunny.


The Baby Bunny pattern is a beginner pattern and available to download so you can start working on one yourself!  Here's the link below...

I used Hobbs Simply Stuffing inside the Baby Bunny and two Island Batik fabrics, Lavender and Eggplant, for the bunny's body fabric.


It didn't take long to cut the fabrics using the templates provided in the pattern. I marked all the registration points so I could place the legs, arms and ears in the correct position on the fabric pieces. Sewing was was easy and I used Aurifil 50 weight thread and Schmetz Microtex Needles.


The legs and arms are stuffed first, and I put some stuffing in the ears too. After attaching the legs, arms and ears the body is sewn together and gets stuffed, leaving an opening to hand sew at the end. This was an easy project and I high recommend it be one you choose to start with!

And the Baby Bunny was approved by Cooper, my #1 quilting inspector!



A very special thanks to all the sponsors of the Island Batik Ambassador program.
