Small pink gingham bunny tote/bag
Having got full swing into bunnies, my next thought was how about that lovely piece of pink gingham I bought recently it would be perfect for a little tote/bag. So, rather than patchwork I decided on appliquéing some lovely bright pink bunnies I cut from felt with a little heart above them. After I had stitched them in place I hand quilted over the whole piece and then routed around in my buttons until I found enough matching ones to stitch around the heart. That really set it off nicely. Not content with just one lot of bunnies I decided the back of the tote/bag deserved a little design too. So again I drew out a sketch of a bunny cut it out of some white felt this time and stitched it in place. Surely if the front could have buttons, why not the back?! So… back to the button tins! This time I hand stitched a little grass border and added some ‘button flowers’, then to finish off gave the bunny a giant felt flower and a pink pompom tail
Most would think okay, enough bunnies…! but as I was making one of my special multi-pockets for the inside of the tote/bag I though ”Oh, Why not!” so I added a final little pink and white bunny in there too. Adding little beads for eyes and stitching little cute noses on them all. I finished the quilting on the reverse of the bag, made the little handles and finished with a magnetic clasp.
Yay! One perfect pink bunny bag. And guess what? Its already ‘hopping’ its way to its new owner! 🙂

Caren's Creative Canvas & Craft 
As you already know I think all of these new additions are fantastic! Your crafts are so charming and have so much personality. I just love them. 😀
Thank you so much Jackie it means so much that you like them. 🙂
As I mentioned, and I think I realised this quite a while ago, the less ”perfect” some of these items are the more characterful they become. As you know I am quite capable of making something to a high standard, or at least I hope I am, though, to make them all the same and perfect takes much away from the final piece. I think it is a secret most crafter s have to believe in, and that is why handmade items have their own charm. But.. please correct me if I am wrong 🙂
No correction needed! I totally agree. The things you make are actually better than most things I’ve seen in the stores in both looks and quality. 🙂
You say the nicest things Jackie, Every time I read your comments its like having a huge hug and a confidence booster. Thank You! 🙂
I love the way u make inside pocket of bag. I haven’t see anyone doing handwork on the inside pocket 🙂
I really like going the extra mile when I design things, I think it does make a difference to show the quality is just as nice on the inside too 🙂
