Easter Bunnies – A focus on technique session 17/03/2026
This workshop focuses on simple but effective techniques to create two projects.
1. Stitch a bunny basket to hold Easter treats
Use some basic hand stitching to make your bunny face and line your felt “basket” to create a jolly gift or decoration.
2. Make a Flopsy or Mopsy bunny shape using fusible wadding and a fluffy pom-pom tail.
This little project develops your zig-zag stitching and pivoting skills. The rabbit shape can be used to create a joyful string of bunting or a single hanging bunny.

Your Tutor
Name: Jane Neesam
Bio: Jane graduated with a degree in Fashion and Textiles from Leicester Polytechnic, specialising in Contour Fashion (corsetry, lingerie and swimwear). Working as a bra designer and later as a garment technologist in the lingerie industry, Jane relished the challenges and new skills that manufacturing presented. Whilst training and qualifying as a tutor in the volunteer sector, Jane realised she could transfer those skills to share her passion and knowledge of making clothes with others. Her goal is to facilitate a sewing session where students can learn and develop at their own pace and where everyone feels valued and at ease.
