Easter Sewing with Boho Blooms fabric

April 27, 2020 By Lauren at Molly and Mama Leave a Comment

Now that Easter has come and gone, I can share all the gifts I made for my little nieces using the vibrant and fun Boho Blooms fabric.

Nancy Archer designed this bright and beautiful range for Studio E Fabrics. It showcases 12 prints in mid tones of blues, pinks and greens, and includes small florals, a Jacobean print, bird print, and bunnies too. Nancy gifted me a selection of fat quarters and two print panels.

I used the Tossed Bunnies print for the front of this sunglasses case; a project made from Elise & Emelie‘s book, Patchwork Gifts*. You can read all about the book and this project HERE.

I was also working on a prototype for a new Easter dilly bag. I wanted it to have pockets for Easter eggs. So I used Nancy’s gorgeous fabric to trial it. The project worked out so well, I gifted it to one of my nieces. You can see the newly designed Easter Dilly Bag project here.

One of my favourite things about Nancy’s range is the pre-printed projects. There is a multi-panel which includes a sweet bunny doll, complete with skirt, collar and hair bows. Also on the panel is this adorable little bunny bag. I made two of these using Nancy’s instructions included in her tutorials tab.

The last panel included in the range is for a 24 inch mini quilt. This was a quick and easy project, as the cheater print already had the pieced patchwork printed on it. I made a doll’s quilt, but could also see this panel made into a couple of cushions or even a bag.

I’ll look forward to sharing the bunny doll with you when I sew her up! Thank you Nancy for showcasing your artistic talent with us!

Happy stitching, Lauren x

💗 Have you started the year with some English p 💗 Have you started the year with some English paper piecing? The weekly #sipteaandepp party is continuing with the lovely Larisa from @stitchingnotes and this year I’m making way for the very talented Irina from @nordiccrafter to become the new co-host. Please go and visit the profiles of these clever creatives to learn all about what 2021 holds for #sipteaandepp. The girls have some exciting plans in place and I know you’re going to love it!

This week’s theme is all about Introductions, where you’re encouraged to share a few random facts about yourself. So here’s a little about me. 

🤍 Before starting this wonderful journey into sewing, I was a primary school teacher

🤍My first degree was a bachelor of Behavioural Science / Psychology

🤍 I’ve been crafty for as long as I remember but I also love art, illustration, gardening and baking

🤍 I’m not a traditional tea drinker (which was a little strange as the co-host of #sipteaandepp 😂 

🤍 I’m inspired mostly by colour and nature. I’m drawn to anything muted, delicate, pastel, pretty, dainty and floral. Yet nothing in my home or wardrobe would give you that impression! 

With so many new followers joining me in the new year, I’d love to know more about you. And if you have any questions for me, feel free to ask! Lauren 💗

Honey bees are so amazing! I really wish I wasn’ Honey bees are so amazing! I really wish I wasn’t allergic. So while we gave my father in law a hive, we keep native Australian stingless bee hives instead. And they are the friendliest little creatures. I love finding sewing inspiration from our garden 🐝💐
