First, some
\nEASTER TOY Pattern
\ninspiration!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Easter Bunny Buddies Pattern:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Whether you want a fluffy bunny, a clothing keepsake, or a cozy cotton friend, the Easter Bunny Buddies Pattern <\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/b>will get tons of hugs every time. I’ve seen lots of beginners make a lovely Easter Bunny but I do think that it is is an INTERMEDIATE level pattern so here is a FABULOUS TIP: The key to \u00a0success is adding all the pattern markings on the fabric so you don’t reverse any pieces.\u00a0<\/span>Emma Boulton<\/b> used some gorgeous baby clothes to make this stunning keepsake Easter Bunny Buddy.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The large front tummy piece on the Easter Bunny Buddies<\/strong> is a great place to add embroidery or feature a special fabric. Kate Webster<\/b> personalized this bunny with machine embroidery.

2. Baby Bunny Pattern:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Meet Baby Bunny<\/span><\/strong><\/a>! This little cutie was the very first Funky Friend. With baby-safe embroidered features, this toy is perfect for even the newest names on your Easter list. Of the three bunny patterns, this one falls in the middle in terms of sewing level: it has fewer pieces than the Easter Bunny Buddies, but a few more than the Kawaii Kuties Bunny (see No. 6 below)!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Jennifer Newman Brown<\/strong> whipped up a trio of turquoise Baby Bunnies with baby-safe faces.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you prefer plastic feature to embroidery, Baby Bunny looks great with craft eyes pink nose, as seen in this duo by Jane<\/b> McKenzie<\/b>. (Note:<\/span> plastic features are never safe for kids under 3 – I have blog post with more toy-safety inforomation here<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Egghead the Easter Chick Pattern:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Egghead the Easter Chick<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is so ready to greet the world. He’s so excited, he forgot to knock off that last bit of shell. This chubby chick is a fun, fast sew. Laila Pye<\/b> took her Egghead chick outside for some fresh air!

4. Lamkins Lamb Pattern:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Are you leaning more toward fuzzy friends than feathered ones this year? Lamkins Lamb<\/strong><\/span><\/a> will frolic off your sewing table and into your heart. This is an INTERMEDIATE pattern because it has opposing curves on the face pieces. I suggest using fleece for Lamkins on your first try if you’ve never sewn opposing curves, as it’s stretchy and easier to pin. Here’s a fleece flock sewn by\u00a0Paula Blevins<\/b>.

7. Dilby Duck Pattern:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

We can’t forget this little quacker! Dilby Duckling is an adorable pattern with tons of personality. You can vary his expression a great deal depending on where you place his eyes. This clothing keepsake by Joanna Leake<\/b> is gorgeous!<\/span><\/p>\n

And this fluffy, slightly grumpy duck by Becky Lou<\/b>\u00a0is hilarious. Everyone in our Facebook group loved him! Becky moved the eyes a little further apart on her second duck and got a totally different look!<\/span><\/p>\n
