Tutorial: Dress up crown and cape
Kids’ dress up and pretend play is made all the more fun when they have costumes to go along with it! Alicia from Sew What Alicia shows how you can make a crown and a cape. These two costume pieces work for boys or girls, and are great for open-ended play. I’m loving the patchwork and mix of colors she uses in the ones she makes!

Okay, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t even looking for another project when I stumbled across this adorable Bunny Bag Free Pattern from Connecting Threads. But you know how it goes… one minute you’re browsing, the next you’re printing out a pattern and digging through your fabric stash for something pastel and spring-ready.
First off, let’s just talk about the cuteness factor. This little bunny face with the floppy ears? Absolutely charming. It’s the kind of thing that makes you smile immediately — perfect for Easter baskets, springtime gifting, or just adding a little whimsy to your sewing projects. And the size is spot on too — not too big, not too tiny. It’s great for popping in a few chocolates, a gift card, or even some sewing notions if you want to gift it to your crafty friends.
Now, as for the actual sewing part, this project is delightfully simple. The instructions are clear, the pattern pieces are easy to cut out, and it doesn’t require any complicated techniques. I’d say it’s beginner-friendly for sure — but still fun for seasoned sewists who want a quick win. If you’ve got some cute cottons, especially solids or subtle prints, they’ll work beautifully here.
The best part? It’s a FREE pattern. No catch. Just download and go. I always appreciate when companies like Connecting Threads offer sweet seasonal projects like this, especially when they’re this polished. You can tell some real care went into designing this little bag.
If you’re looking for a last-minute Easter project or just want to sew something smile-worthy, this Bunny Bag is 100% worth it. I’ve already made one for my niece — and now my inner child kind of wants one too. Don’t judge.
