In the meanwhile, enjoy a to do project for Easter. make your own felt peeps. Go HERE to get the PDF for the pattern and HERE for the directions. If you want them more like a stuffed dimentional project, just do the following:
Cut 2 strips, each about 3/4" wide from one narrow (9") end of the felt. Cut 2 pieces from the pattern & mark the center bottom. Match the seam, right sides together, to the point between the bunny's ears & stitch to secure. Align the strip with the bunny edge & stitch half way around ending at the center bottom using a very narrow seam---no more than 1/8". Return to the beginning & stitch the other half from the ear to the center bottom. This method keeps the seams even at the top & bottom. Join the 2 strips where they meet & trim the excess. Turn the seam to the inside Pin the back piece to the gusset strip, aligning the edges & matching the center bottom. Stitch the seam leaving an opening to stuff it. The back seam will remain exposed. Stuff lightly & stitch the opening.
