A new bunny T-shirt

Earlier this year I made a bunny T-shirt for my daughter. It was a huge hit, she used it for Easter and has been using it ever since too. With the addition of our new pet (we now have a real bunny at our house - you can see him here in case you missed my wordless Wednesday post last week) my son decided he wanted a bunny birthday party. 

So last weekend we hosted our very own bunny party. We had a bunny cake, a bunny garland (a DIY project which I'll be showing here another time), a bunny tablecloth and bunny napkins. And I made a new bunny t-shirt, this time for my son. 

I used my Sizzix to cut a bunny shape from a piece of iron-on fabric (my son picked the pattern). 

 

After ironing the bunny over a plain t-shirt, I secured it with a zig-zag stitch all around (it may be me, but I'm always afraid these iron-ons won't survive being washed more than a couple of times). 

Then I added the pom-pom and embroidered the eye of the bunny, although I'm not very happy with it yet, as it doesn't stand out much from the pattern of the fabric. My son didn't want to add a button for the eye, so I may need to embroider it a bit bigger or with a darker thread. 

Still, overall, it was another hit and the perfect add-on to our bunny birthday party. 

 And here are the two bunny t-shirts side by side:

Happy Monday,
