Happy bunnies

Here are my children, 7 and 4, who spent the afternoon making bunnies. I was surprised how well the older one did once I’d started him off. What an achievement! Karen

Mermaid Purse and Finger Puppets

Make a beautiful shell-shaped purse and three finger puppets. The bag can be made from any silky or cotton fabric, and the finger puppets can be made from felt, with embroidery thread for hair. Simple sewing stitches make this an easy project for any child looking for something really special.

Mel sent us a picture she made for her train-mad son from left over scraps of Buttonbag fabric.

Hi Mel, this cushion is brilliant – we’re sure your son loves it! Sara and Sarah

Courtney has just spent two weeks with us on work experience from Stoke Newington School in Hackney. She arrived last Monday morning ready to learn all about Buttonbag and was soon busy trying out designs for a newrange of easy sewing kits for very young children. Here she is with a turtle of her own design.

Courtney also helped out on another projects - an update to our Nativity and Fairytale Peg Doll kit. In this new kit children cut out costumes printed on a cotton panel, colour them in and tie, glue or sew them onto pegs to make a set of Nativity Peg Doll Kits.

Here she is helping our photographer dan get a close-up of the Fairy peg.
