 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

Whether you want a quick cotton sew, a clothing keepsake, or a personalized gift, the Easter Bunny Buddies Pattern <\/strong><\/a><\/b><\/span>will get tons of hugs every time. \u00a0The Easter Bunny has lots of fun spaces to show off seasonal prints, as even in this example by Sarah Weinert<\/strong>. She used scraps from another project to create this cheerful bunny.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The large front tummy piece on the Easter Bunny Buddies<\/strong><\/a><\/b><\/span>\u00a0is a great place to add embroidery or feature a special fabric. Kate Webster<\/b> personalized this bunny with an machine embroidery, but you an also use HTV (heat transfer vinyl).

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

Meet Baby Bunny<\/span><\/strong><\/a>! This little cutie was the very first Funky Friend over 20 years ago. With baby-safe embroidered features, this toy is perfect for even the newest names on your Easter list. <\/span>Diana<\/b> Sageser<\/b> said she<\/span>\u00a0raided her scrap fabric pile to add some fun details to the Baby Bunny ears<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/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>. (small, 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 that he forgot to knock off that last bit of shell. This chubby chick is a fun, fast sew. Depending on the type of fabric you use, he can look silly or sophisticated.\u00a0<\/span>Stephanie<\/b> Wells<\/b> says her swirl minky version of Egghead Easter Chick<\/span><\/strong><\/a> makes her laugh. With his round body and tiny tail, he’s sure to get some instant squeezes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Laila Pye<\/b> took her Egghead Easter Chick<\/span><\/strong><\/a> outside for some fresh air! He looks distinguished in linen.

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. 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>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lamkins-lamb-sewn-by-Paula-Blevins\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see from these photos, Lamkins Lamb<\/a><\/strong><\/span> looks great in all spring colors, not just natural lamb shades. Here’s a violet minky Lamkins Lamb sewn by Courtney Schreiner<\/strong> of Monkey in the Mailbox<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
