Wouldn't You Like To Curl Up Under This!?!

"Whew!",

she said. After a 'long, arduous process', Lisa from BunnyBear Designs had finally finished her first set of Felted Sweater Bedding!

The process of washing each sweater several times in hot water, cutting pieces to her pattern size and then the pinning and sewing took much longer than she expected~ but the most time was spent whip stitching the back, since she wanted the piece to be reversible!

But despite all the work, Lisa is proud of this set and already planning the next piece! She says the next one will be a map of the United States~

"Wow!"









To see more of the process of making this bedding set, follow Lisa's progress on her blog, BunnyBear Designs from when she started her 'New Project' and while she was 'Moving Along' on the quilt. Lisa also has some great advice for 'Marketing Yourself and Your Etsy Teams' (We love that idea, lol).

Did you fall in love with this upcycled bedding set? If you hurry you won't have to make it yourself~ Just head over to BunnyBear Designs and buy this one!
