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 :)

Christmas Is Coming

At the weekend the Foreverbunnies were out on the road and this time they were at Cromford Mill in Derbyshire, the mill was the first water-powered cotton spinning mill developed by Richard Arkwright in 1771.

It was a fabulous crisp morning and such a beautiful inspiring location, there were lots of fun Christmas things as well as all the fantastic craft stalls.

At one o'clock Jeff the Reindeer arrived in his trailer to meet and greet his adoring fans, he was very well behaved and enjoyed all the attention, also Santa was on hand to take all the children's Christmas wish lists.

On site is a great little antique shop which was crammed with the most fantastic quirky array of unusual finds, so I when on the search for things to help display Foreverbunnies and came across this vintage Martell Brandy crate and at such a good price it had to join the Foreverbunny stand. We had a lovely day and some more Foreverbunnies went to their new forever homes.

The next show is on the 15th December at a pop up shop on Saddler Gate, Derby full details on the Foreverbunny website tomorrow :)
