Pro-Tip: Perfecting Your Appliqué
To get a professional look on your appliqué projects, try using a topstitch needle. Its extra-sharp point and larger eye are perfect for the denser stitching required for a blanket stitch or satin stitch. It prevents thread shredding and keeps your bunny outlines looking crisp and clean!

Admittedly the pattern was written for Christmas, but it’s one of those sewing patterns that you can use in all situations; you just have to use the fabric that fits best. Anyway, these are beginner friendly and perfectly adorable.

Sewing Hack: Perfecting Plushie Curves
When sewing softies, use a shorter stitch length (around 2.0mm) as you go around the tight curves. This prevents the seams from looking “pointy” when you turn them right-side out and gives your plushies a much smoother, more professional finish.
Sweet Bow Headbands
With just a few fabric scraps, some fold over elastic, and 5 minutes of sewing, you can make sweet bow headbands for girls, teens, and yourself! Scrap friendly projects are the BEST!
Drawstring Chick Treat Bag
