Basic Tricks To Take Your Sewing Up A Notch

(SewMamaSew) BUNNY Giveaway

SewMamaSew is hosting another Giveaway Day.

UPDATE: MAY 27, 2011. Winner announced here. Thank you to all who entered.

I managed to upcycle four of these bunnies out of one woman's striped t-shirt and I put a couple into my etsy shop. I also gave one of them to my little great-niece who is 5 months old. 

I thought someone out there would really really love one for their very own. Missy Bunny is about 6" high. Her ears make her seem taller.
This rabbit is all soft cotton knit, stuffed with poly-fil and the little face is embroidered on making this perfect for your little one or as a gift.



To enter, please leave a comment (& contact info, if necessary) and answer the question:
Where are you going on vacation this summer?

I can ship domestically as well as internationally. This giveaway is open to anyone.
The winner is decided randomly by me.

Giveaway is open until May 25th (evening PST). I will ship the bunny as soon after I close the comments and get contact info.
Thanks for commenting.


I need some vacation planning. My husband of 24 years is not the best at handling the pre-vacation details. Actually, I would love it if someone just gave me a vacation dream that is reasonably priced, about a week long and the details  dove-tail nicely. Wishing for the moon here.

    I love bunnies... *sigh*

    We're going to Galveston this summer for vacation. My hubby and three kids are excited since it's their first visit to the ocean. I have mixed feelings about it - I'll be 8 months pregnant!

    Thanks for your comment on my giveaway! Very cute bunny--she looks very soft. We're not going anywhere, but I live less than a 15-minute drive from the nearest beach. I LOVE summertime where we live! Except for all the tourists... ;)

    We're just hanging out at home this summer, no holidays for us. We'll just go on lots of hikes and picnics, that sort of thing. We'll have lots of fun, even if we don't go anywhere, we have a slice of heaven in our backyard and that's good enough for us.

    We have already been on Summer hols! We road tripped it to the south of france, pretty much guzzling our way down, mmmm proper bread, nice cheese, tomatoes that taste of tomatoes, strawberries that actually smell of straw! It was amazing holiday, but being early in the year i'm going to have to wait ages for another!

    Aw, so cute! I'm not certain that we'll be going anywhere this summer, which is kind of disappointing. We moved to Arizona from Texas somewhat hastily last summer and I'd dearly hoped to go back to visit this summer. Things don't seem to be working out for it though, so we may just staycation and learn what summer is like in the desert. ;) Thanks for taking part in Giveaway Day and for offering up such an adorable prize!

    Great bunny! No holiday to speak of let alone boast of here, Kathy honey. We'd love to take one though and like you probably need one. It will probably be based from home and take long drives and find interesting things to do that we dont ncessarily get the time to do. Visiting people and places. We've taken rides on the steam train in the past and gone to places that we can get back home to the same day. It feels good to get out. I do hope you have a great holiday, which ever way you go and hope you feel refreshed and relaxed as a result.

    Vacation this year will be 1-2 weeks at my mother's house clearing out her belongings before we sell it. Not much of a vacation, is it? The only benefit is that she lives near Lake Michigan, so we can sneak in beach time in between.

    Love the bunny!!

    No vacation plans as yet. Im hoping a trip to Disneyland though :)

    You should check out vacations to Costa Rica. They aren't too expensive and it is a great country to visit. Your local travel agent probably has some brochures with vaca packages already made up and can be tailored to your wants.
