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 "running stitch" worked beautifully. For those who have a little more stitching experience, a "blanket stitch" is also nice. Click here, and here for a tutorial on how to sew a blanket stitch.
We stuffed the bunnies with polyester fiberfill purchased from Joannes fabrics. Click here.
