Prototype

I was so inspired by the felt that I received (in yardage!) from woolfeltcentral.com, that I decided to make fat bunny tea cozies. After creating a pattern from trusty graph paper and cutting out the bunny from the felt, I paused.   I suspected that the ears my present a problem...how do they stand?  I decided to add a layer of stiff felt on the inside (with the help of a little heat and bond) before sewing it all together...and voila...

Overall I am pleased with this first model.  I plan to make a few adjustments, like the bottom cut, and I want to line the interior with a coordinating fabric.  Hopefully, I will have a few to add to my etsy shop in time for fall, because I know I, for one, will be drinking more tea then.
