Best blogging tools for beginner bloggers, social media management

Fun Easter Project – Bunny Bags

Sewing Bunny Bags for Easter Treats | DIY | Sewing

I have a lot of young nieces and nephews and I was looking for a cute Easter present that would be fun and easy to make.  I’ve been searching Pinterest and my other favorite sewing and craft blogs for a few months and finally decided on making fun bunny bags for Easter treats.  However, for the boys, I wanted to do something with an Easter theme, but I needed a different motif than the pink and purple items available at this time of year, so I chose to go with two types of “camo” fabrics for the ... continue reading...
