Retro Rabbits


These week I wanted to make something that I would actually finish quite quickly and not be added to my wip collection. After a look though a couple of books I settled on these retro bunnies because I still have a vast amount of the floral fabric left over from some sheets that my Gran gave to me. The pattern which I used is from the book  All Sewn Up by Chloe Owens. The patterns needed enlarged and I did that the old fashioned way by drawing a grid and copying square by square.


All the pieces were sewn on by hand and just used my sewing machine to sew the body pieces together. I used glittery buttons for eyes


and made some pom poms for tails.


Another thing which I made this week was this sleep mask for Little L. She had been looking through craft books with me, seen a mask and told me that she really wanted one for bed. I don't know why though considering she is scared of the dark. I found the pattern for this one here on Cut Out And Keep.
