A Scattering Of Cushions

The foreverbunny studio had a delivery of new feather cushions last week and they all looked very plain indeed, in need of some serious Foreverbunnying.

So with lots of bunny ideas and all the beautiful fabrics at the ready it was time to get my thinking cap on and start to turn those cushions into something more chic and Foreverbunny worthy.

I usually do two cushions at the same time so I can see how they are going to look together and to make sure they work with all the other foreverbunny products. Its at this point I choose the style of bunny, the full bunny body I use is based on Iona because she is a little plumper and the head design is based on Aaran my big bunny boy. Next comes the fabric combination for the hearts and the choosing of a nice scarf to compliment the whole look which finishes them off nicely.

So a couple of hours later with the sewing machine my new Foreverbunnies are finished. They are photographed and sealed ready for their new homes.

Finding Fabric For Foreverbunnies

Yesterday I went on the quest to stock up on existing fabrics and also a few new designs that will appear in the new fabric Foreverbunny range on the website. Incidentally the Foreverbunny shop is fully up and running complete with fourteen new Foreverbunnies to peruse - www.foreverbunnyshop.co.uk for a direct link, just one more thing, we have run out of the small straw Foreverbunny hearts temporarily but they will be back soon.

I have two lovely suppliers so I visited them both yesterday and enjoyed the beautiful winter scenery at the same time as stocking up on the fabulous fabrics. They look so pretty it seems a shame to have to cut them all up.

Theres a few new designs and shades to play with to give a slightly different feel to the Foreverbunnies this year. So, with my little box of tricks at the ready and the sewing machine on standby I got to work.

After a few hours of drawing, cutting, sewing, ironing and embellishing this was the first finished fabric Foreverbunny, yay!

My plan is to get them on the website as soon as possible and looking out of the window at all the snow I think that will be sooner rather than later!

Fabrics Foreverbunnies are go

I have always wanted to bring textiles into the Foreverbunny family as soon as possible and on Tuesday I worked with a friend to develop the freestanding wood Foreverbunnies into a fabric version, it took us all day, several prototypes and lots of cups of coffee but towards the end of the day we had the just about cracked it.

The following day my new stuffed bunny was transformed foreverbunny style with his scarf, fabric layered hearts on his chest, buttons on his tummy, cheeky little eyes, mouth and a cute blush on his cheeks, but even after all this one thing was missing still missing. Bunny needed a small fluffy tail!

Soon sorted, a handmade pompom finished it off beautifully. Its been a week of fabric as we also developed the foreverbunny design onto this comfy feather cushion.

And very nice it is too!

Apologies if you are still waiting for the Foreverbunny website to go fully live, its had a makeover and work is progressing on a full online shop, but as with all these things theres never enough time in the day. I'll keep you updated regularly on the blog, it's going to be an exciting year :)
