Easter Bunny Basket

This weekend I took our Sewing Center's pattern for a Catch a Thread Pincushion and amended it to create an Easter basket.

I enlarged the bag part to 25 1/2 x 11, machine embroidered a face,  and added ears and a handle in place of the pincushion.

I plan to fill the basket with all kinds of homemade goodies. I'm even thinking of a soft fabric book for the baby.

If you would like a complete set of instructions for the Easter bunny basket, contact the Sewing Center here. If you have an idea or project to share for goodies to put into the Easter basket post it to our Facebook page. We'd love to have you share your projects with us!

Easter Projects from Around the Web

With a couple of new babies in the family I can't wait to start sewing up Easter bunnies, chicks and baskets. I've scoured the net to uncover sources of inspiration, free patterns, and embroidery designs.

Here's a few to inspire you:

Husqvarna Viking site's free embroidery design this month includes instructions for a lovely Springtime Easter Apron---complete with machine applique eggs. Sew cute!

Remember those washcloth animals so popular at baby showers? A bunny or two would look adorable in baby's first Easter basket and Countrywomanmagazine.com has the directions for you.



How about a Chenille Chick for that basket? Try one here.

Have you shrunk a cashmere sweater beyond recovery? Since no Easter basket is complete without a bunny why not recycle that old sweater into a couple of super soft and oh so cute bunnies? Here's how from blogger Betz White.

What  lovely projects to fill a basket! I am so inspired we may provide a few of our own in the coming days.

Meanwhile why not embroider the center of a straw wreath as shown in the photo? And don't forget to visit, like, and share our Facebook page for our Spring time promotions and ideas!
