Gingercake Pattern Giveaway! + Sew and Quilt Fabric Discount

I'm so excited to share a super fun giveaway from the lovely Virginia of Gingercake today! She emailed me a while back asking if I would be interested in sewing one of her cute PDF sewing patterns as part of a holiday gift sew-a-long. After a browse around the Gingercake shop, I knew I had to make the Modern Folksy Bunny! My dear friend has just had her first baby, so I knew immediately this would be the perfect gift for the new mum.




My first bunny was the yellow one, I loved making it so much I whipped up the blue and red one straight after! Normally once I finish a project I'm straight onto the next, so it's quite unusual I would make the same thing again. But really, this sweet little bunny was a pleasure to stitch. I also had to use both of my Aunt Grace bunny fabrics from Sew and Quilt, they are the perfect match :) You can make him in just a few hours, so it's a fun little evening project. Each measures 11" tall, plus ears! So they are fat quarter friendly, you can fit the body and outside ears in a single fat quarter.
