Cut your lovey front and back fabrics to 12 x 12 -inch squares.
1) Fold the gross grain ribbon in half, and pin the raw edges to one of the corners of the lovey back fabric, on the right side. 2) Place the lovey front fabric above it, with the right sides together and lining up the edges. Pin the layers together, all around.
Sew around the edges, leaving a 2- inch gap to bring the right side out.
Clip the corners.
Pull the right side out, through the opening.
Pull the ribbon taut and poke the corners out with the help of a wooden dowel.
Tuck the raw edges in and topstitch around the edges.
1) To tie the teether to the lovey, thread the satin ribbon loop through the inside of the teether ring.
2) Next, bring the opposite corner of the lovey and insert it through the satin ribbon loop that extends beyond the teether ring. ** You can see the loop marked in the first picture).
3) Pull the lovey tight till the whole of it is brought out through the ribbon loop.
Next, we make the bunny ears.
1) Cut two bunny ear pieces and layer them with the right sides together, lining up the edges. Sew around the edge, leaving a small opening to bring the right side out. Cut the corners and clip the edges.
Pull the right side out through the opening.
Tuck the raw edges in and press.
Topstitch around the edges to make it clean and crisp.
Tie the bunny ears on the teether and your baby lovey is ready!
