Sweet Dreams in Fabric: Introducing Honey Bunny by Maywood Studios

Now available at Bellarine Sewing Centre

If you’re looking for fabric that’s soft, whimsical, and perfect for baby quilts and nursery décor, you’re going to fall in love with Honey Bunny by Maywood Studios. We’re excited to share that Bellarine Sewing Centre in Geelong now stocks this charming collection — and it’s ideal for your next cuddly project.

A Gentle Palette with Whimsy & Heart

What makes Honey Bunny special is its delicate, soothing palette and playful motifs. Think soft greys, tender peaches, gentle whites, and pastel pinks. Prints include flurries of stars, hearts, clouds & moons, rainbows, and the occasional bunny — all with a dreamlike, calming aesthetic.

These designs are made to evoke a sense of innocence and comfort — perfect for little ones, new babies, or any sewing project that calls for softness and warmth.

What You’ll Find in the Range

At Bellarine Sewing Centre, you can expect to find many of the signature pieces from the Honey Bunny line (subject to stock). Here’s a sampler of what the range includes:

Panels — e.g. a 27″ panel in “White / Grey Honey Bunny”
Full-width prints in coordinating motifs — clouds & moons, stars, hearts, rainbows, bunny-in-the-clouds, and “bunny words” prints
Minky — for finishing quilts or blankets with plush backing

Because the Honey Bunny range offers both quilting cottons and cozy minky textures, it gives you flexibility: you can mix soft cotton tops with a plush backing for baby quilts or cuddle blankets.

Ideas & Inspiration for Using Honey Bunny

Here are some project ideas to bring Honey Bunny to life:

Nursery Quilts & Baby Blankets
The gentle palette and recurring motifs make for perfectly coordinated quilts. One of the free patterns available is the Honey Bunny Panel Quilt, sized ~58.5″ × 65.5″, which uses the panel as a centerpiece.
Appliqué Accents & Baby Gifts
Use the “bunny words” or small motif prints as appliqué patches on onesies, bibs, or baby wraps.
Stuffed Animals / Soft Toys
Maywood Studios even shows how you can make a Baby Bunny Stuffed Animal using the Honey Bunny collection through Funky Friends Factory.
One Night Wonder Quilt
There’s an example of a “One Night Wonder” quilt done in the Honey Bunny line, proving how well the fabrics coordinate in a fast strip-based quilt.
Nursery Décor
Think wall art, cushions, curtains, or a quilted cot skirt — the soft motif designs work well for décor that’s sweet, not busy.

Why Shop Honey Bunny at Bellarine Sewing Centre?

Hands-on Experience: You can see and feel the actual fabrics — compare the cotton weight, check the drape, and mix and match prints in person.
Coordinated Stock: Because Bellarine Sewing Centre carries a full quilt and patchwork range, you’ve got the benefit of seeing coordinating basics, solids, and companion prints all in one place.
Support & Advice: The staff there can help you pick backing, batting, and complementary fabrics for your project.
Local Convenience: Being in Geelong, it’s far easier to pop in and collect or view than ordering from overseas and waiting on shipping.

Tips for Working with Honey Bunny Fabrics

Prewash with care — although many quilters choose not to prewash, baby items often benefit from a soft wash to remove any sizing.
Consider contrast prints — because many of the Honey Bunny shades are soft or tonal, a lightly stronger neutral or coordinating solid can help certain motifs “pop.”
Mix textures — pairing cotton prints with minky or plush panels gives both visual and tactile interest.
Fussy cutting — many motifs are small enough to allow fun fussy-cutting for feature blocks or appliqué.
Plan yardage around the panel — if your project uses the 27″ panel or a large motif, build the rest of your layout around it.
