The BunnFunn Collection

Somewhere between Bespoke and Made to Measure, Sara Bunn, Indy Designer, creates unique personalized pieces for the every day woman on the go.

BunnFunn is an independent company whose creator, Sara Bunn, is a socially conscious 9-5 CEO's Executive Assistant, at home seamstress hobbyist, turned moonlighting designer. With a taste for history, culture, fashion, crafts and civic duty, has created a fashion line that includes hand sewn vintage reproduction era silhouettes, casual and conservative classic dresses, jackets, coats, and wraps;

performance wearable art, whimsical textile creations, women's business attire, and glam holiday separates. We also carry a line of resort wear with multi purpose interchangeable pieces for quick getaways or elaborate destination weddings, in addition to honeymoon or special occasion pieces, all made to measure. A ten year plan projection will find BunnFunn working towards expanding in terms of creating community activities for youth in the arts and crafts fields, hosting benefits for charitable organizations geared to our youth, and seeking solutions to some of the social problems of our communities through exposure to the arts. BunnFunn wants to be a part of combatting the negative influences of social media on our youth and young adults. There is the threat of the lure of the streets, and the obvious lack of fundamental survival skills such as basic home economics in addition to the arrested development of their personal sense of purpose and responsibility, especially in our communities that are economically challenged. We look forward to educating through fashion, music and the arts and helping to spread awareness of the ever growing abuse of women and children, the destruction of the nucleus of our families, and to help cultivate in victims of domestic violence, a sense of pride in spirit, along with their style. BunnFunn wants to ultimately help beautify as well as empower women and communities, one stitch at a time.

Greetings Beloved ~

It's such a beautiful day that I am inspired to share an image I've been working on with you. I have delved further into Seneca Village history beyond our original four principals: The Boot Black, The Deaconess, and The Farmer and her Daughter. I was delighted to find a School Teacher and a Midwife. Please, with all honor to women of distinction every where, may I introduce you to

~ Miss Christine W. Simpson ~
The School Teacher of Seneca Village & Keeper of The Little Fishes

Miss Simpson was an educator during the 1800's. At this point of HerStory, she has arrived at the home of the family who will host her stay for the school season. Miss Simpson, was considered to be a woman of virtue and spotless reputation. At the time, female educators were expected to remain unmarried, refrain from vices such as smoking and drinking, and to never venture outside on their own in the evenings. Miss Simpson, and many teachers like her, were valued by the communities they served, but like today, economically they suffered. However, it was an honorable position in society, and one the children needed. Obtaining an education afforded the students, especially young girls, an opportunity to excel beyond domestic work. Some would become future business owners, opening bakeries in their basements, operating dressmaker and seamstress cottage industries, as well as boarding houses. The African Free Schools were cultivating future leaders of the communities to come.

More to come of Heroines, Hemlines and HerStories ~ Enjoy your Sunday ~

It will be a great day! I am not concerned with what lies behind me. I am focused on looking upward and moving forward!

After re-reading the story of Red Riding Hood, retold by the NAACP Award winning duo Kahran and Regis Bethencourt of "Crowned" a chidren's book of "Magical Folk and Fairy Taels from The Diaspora, I'm feeling ready like Freddy to overcome whatever gets in my way today! And I'm an adult. Imagine what the stories in this book can do to uplift our youth.

Thanks Kahran Hill Bethencourt and Regis Bethencourt ~ from all of us!

Good afternoon ~

Congratulations Michelle Obama for your second Grammy award in the Spoken Word category for "The Light We Carry" received last night!. Now you and your husband are tied two for two. The former Commander in Chief had been awarded in 2006 and 2008.

This piece will be heading off to one of my little Grand nieces who will be able to share her appreciation for our heroes with some of Auntie's wearable art. Perfect for Black History Month school activities ❤️

Wishing everyone a happy Saturday morning ~ the Scorpion King's Pillow is complete!

It was not until I put the pillow together did I notice the fabrics motif is quite like that of a pillow ~ what a serendipitous choice of textile ... between the purple royalty and amber gold colors ~ I think this gift is "Fit For a King".

Sending love to all ❤️ Now back to work on the heroines ~

Grand Rising ❤️ I want to share the feeling of with you all today in the hopes of being a motivatating force in your lives. I hope all goes well when this work is fitted onto the dress form. As I finish the hemline, piping to the sleeve cuff areas, and the hooks and eyes for closures honoring Mrs.Clooney of Staten Island ~ I'm already dreaming of a dress for the next heroine of the next enclave of New York ~ Sag Harbor!

👋 Hi! I am on the last panel of Mrs. Clooney's skirt. I took my time so my stitches remain even and neat. Let me share some detail close ups showing how each individual fold is attached. Since I was adamant about having that scarlett piping peeping out of the bottom portion of the waistband as well as on the top, I could not do a full whipstich going "around" the two adjoining pieces. This method of stitching up and through the pieces as if I was quilting took longer, but I get to keep the piping clear of any unwanted visable stitches. There may have been an easier way, but I learn as I go. If nothing else, these sewing techniques get plenty of practice.

Greetings ❤️

Today's Challenge! Squeeze all this skirt neatly onto this waistband by hand. The task is to attach each pleat with a whipstitch. If I do this correctly, it should give me a 3d-like affect. Deep breath.
