Of course — happy to help ๐Ÿค

Here’s a gentle, cozy add-on you can place anywhere in the post (near the end works especially well):

These handmade crochet pouches are such a joy to create and are wonderfully practical too. They’re perfect for keeping little essentials tidy — whether it’s sewing notions, crochet hooks, makeup, coins, or small keepsakes. I love how each pouch turns out slightly different, especially when playing with colour combinations and textures. That’s part of the charm of handmade pieces.


Crochet pouches also make thoughtful gifts and are a lovely way to use up leftover yarn from other projects. They’re quick to make, relaxing to work on, and very satisfying to finish. I hope this project inspires you to pick up your hook and create something both useful and beautiful — handmade items really do add a special touch to everyday life.

EASTER BUNNY BAGS

๐ŸฐEaster Bunny Bags๐Ÿฐ











 

Easter Time




For Your Information!

Quote from AI   ChatGPT

Awesome idea! Based on your photo, it looks like you made an adorable bunny-shaped bag perfect for Easter treats. Here's a sample blog post you can use or tweak however you like:

DIY Easter Bunny Treat Bag (Sewing Tutorial)
Spring is here, and Easter is just around the corner!
If you're looking for a sweet and simple sewing project, this Easter Bunny Bag is perfect for gifting small candies, chocolates, or little surprises. Today I'm sharing how you can sew your very own bunny treat bag, just like the one pictured!

Materials You'll Need:

A square piece of fabric (about 12" x 12")

Scissors

Sewing machine or needle and thread

Ribbon or string

Candy or small gift (like a Reese's Egg!)

Instructions:

Cut and Prep Your Fabric
Cut a square piece of fabric. Fun spring patterns or pastel colors work beautifully!

Sew the Body
Fold the fabric in half diagonally, right sides together, forming a triangle.
Sew up the two sides, leaving the top open (the folded edge stays untouched).

Create the Ears
Fold the top corners of the triangle inward and sew just a few inches down, leaving the ends free. These free ends will be your bunny ears!

Flip It Right Side Out
Turn your bag right side out carefully, poking out the ears to make them stand up.

Fill and Tie
Pop in your candy or small gift. Gather the fabric around the neck of the bunny and tie with a ribbon.

Finishing Touches
Fluff the ears and adjust the ribbon to create a cute bow.
Optional: Add a little felt tail or use a pom-pom if you want extra flair!

Look at how cute mine turned out:
(Insert the photo you uploaded here!)

Perfect for Easter baskets, party favors, or just surprising a loved one!

Would you like me to also suggest a Pinterest-style graphic or printable template to go along with your blog post?

Awesome! Here’s what we can do to make your blog post even more shareable and fun:

1. Pinterest-Style Graphic Idea
A tall, vertical image (about 1000 x 1500 pixels) works best for Pinterest.

Graphic Layout Idea:

Top Section: Title in cute Easter-themed fonts ("DIY Easter Bunny Treat Bag")

Middle Section: Big photo of your bunny bag (the one you uploaded)

Bottom Section: A few step-by-step mini photos or icons (like a sewing needle, scissors, candy)

Background: Soft pastel color (light pink, mint green, or yellow)

Extras: Add little doodles like Easter eggs, flowers, or bunny paws.

I can help you create a sample one if you want — just let me know!

2. Printable Template
You could offer a free download for your readers to make it even easier. Here’s what the printable would include:

A simple bunny ear pattern they can cut out and trace onto fabric.

Basic sewing instructions written clearly in 1-2 pages.

Maybe a mini checklist for supplies.

I can design a simple printable PDF for you too if you like! (or a rough sketch to start from.)

Quick question:
Would you prefer the graphic and printable to be super simple and minimal, or more cute and colorful with Easter designs?
(That way I can match your style!)

Youtube video how to
ChatGPT said:
Perfect — a YouTube "How To" video would go so well with your blog post and Pinterest pin!
Here’s a simple breakdown for a beginner-friendly, cute Easter Bunny Bag sewing tutorial video:

YouTube Video Plan: "How to Sew an Easter Bunny Treat Bag"
1. Video Opening (0:00–0:15)

Start with a cheerful Easter background or upbeat music.

Show a finished bunny bag quickly ("Today I'm showing you how to make this easy Easter Bunny Treat Bag!")

2. Supplies List (0:15–0:30)

Display all materials (fabric, ribbon, scissors, needle/sewing machine, candy).

Add simple text overlay: "You'll Need: Fabric, Ribbon, Needle, Thread, Candy!"

3. Cutting the Fabric (0:30–1:00)

Show cutting a 12"x12" square.

Film it from above (bird's eye view) so people can clearly see the action.

4. Sewing the Triangle (1:00–2:00)

Fold fabric diagonally into a triangle.

Sew the two short sides.

Tip: Zoom in on the stitching for clarity.

5. Making the Bunny Ears (2:00–3:00)

Fold down the top corners to form "ears."

Sew just the base to keep them together.

6. Turning the Bag Right Side Out (3:00–3:30)

Show flipping it inside out gently, adjusting the ears.

7. Adding Treats and Tying (3:30–4:00)

Place the candy inside.

Gather and tie with a ribbon at the neck.

8. Finished Look (4:00–4:30)

Show off the finished bag from different angles.

Maybe place several together like a "bunny family" for cuteness!

9. Closing (4:30–5:00)

End with a cheerful message like:
"Thanks for watching! Happy Easter and happy sewing!"

Encourage people to like, comment, and subscribe.

Editing Tips:

Keep the music light and fun.

Add clear on-screen text for each step.

Maybe a few playful sound effects (like a little "boing" when the ears pop up).

Would you like me to also help you write a short YouTube video description and some hashtags?
(That'll help people find your video faster!)
Also, do you want a sample script you can read while sewing in the video? (Super casual style.)

Round Fabric Bowl











Fabric Bowl

This particular fabric bowl can be used in many capacities as a fabric bowl.  You can see here it was used doing the Christmas Season as a bowl for candies placed in to rest on a table, a counter, etc.  They also make good for gift giving.  After taking the pictures here, I gave it to my granddaughter as a gift.  I hope she finds good use for it.  

#fabricbowls #firsttimeprojects

Inspired by this video here for making this project by following the instructions.
