Bunnies are so freakin cute!! Just not as cute as kittens. Anyhoo, i have a TON of old kids clothes that i cut up sitting in a ginormous pile in my living room. And Katie and Patsy were over playing with the kids, so i decided to have a ‘sewing day’.
I found this pattern online: http://blog.betzwhite.com/2007/03/cashmere-bunny-tutorial.html and thought ‘what a cute EASY pattern’. Well, i was right about the cute part. And i’m sure the easy part works for normal people, but not me! Now, i know how to use the sewing machine, and i know how to cut out the pieces. But somewhere between turning the machine on and cutting off the ‘finished product’, i tend to make unrecognizable ‘bunnies’!!
So, here are the two bunnies that were made with the link as a ‘guide’:
Mine is the ‘dotted’ one, i had sewn the ears on inside out, so i had to ‘redo’ that particular area. The blue one is Katie’s, and thank god she thought her’s was adorable!!
So after that episode, i decided to just keep going with my ‘unique’ sewing ability. I found a green and white checkered shirt that Madaleine never wears and paired that with stripy green stretchy pants that tasha outgrew. This time i didn’t use a pattern, i just folded the shirt and pants inside out and sewed ear/body shapes. I like this one cause, let’s face it, bunnies are adorable!!
For this one i used the huge google eyes and since i had already sewn it closed, i went with a glued on heart shaped felt mouth. I was gonna embroider a face on it, but i didn’t. Here is what bunny does when you sneak up on her:
Cute, right?!!! When it was getting dark and the two girls had to go home, Patsy found one of the wee wonderful bunnies i had made a while back and was all “Oooooh, Mrs. Nathalie, can you make me one??!!!” And i’m all, “sure, hon, i’ll make one tonight for you”.
Oh, i’ll make one alright, but i am soooooooo leaving that circle on the bottom off!!! I have enough issues with sewing!!!

Ha ha! The circle on the bottom is what gave me the most trouble, too. You have that one, I think I sent it down with clothes.
I totally recognize the green stretchy pants! Those were bought by Nana, B wore them only like once before she outgrew them. I think they look great as bunny parts!
So what does Bunni have to say about all this? Pleased with new minions, or aggravated at the competition??
LOL!! Competition?! Please! He’s got them wrapped around his little ear like.. idk, an earring? He says jump, they say how high!!!
I LOVE your bunnies! What a great project day! I totally do the exact samething when I am sewing. I think, oh this will be easy and I always have to rip off an ear or a tail and redo it. 🙂 It is fun to know someone else does the samething sometimes. I also love the owl and xmas trees. I will have to try those!
