Out of the Rabbit Hole

It's been so long since I showed up here that you must have thought I fell down the rabbit hole.

It might be just that, for look who I met when I came out.



I was browsing my favorite blogs a couple of weeks ago when I came across this great tutorial from All Sorts.      
And instantly it was clear to me that I NEEDED to make one for myself.  I pushed aside everything else I was working on and had to make it right away.  I looked through my supplies - sorry, no time to go shopping for the perfect fleece or new fabrics - and had my little bunny ready in no time.



Of course, my boyfriend got jealous and demanded a matching boy version, so a second one came as quickly as the first.  They are that easy to make!  And for the clothes, I used the dress pattern, which I slightly modified, and turned in into a little jacket.









What I like the most about these cuties, apart from the fact that they multiply in the blink of an eye, is that their clothes are reversible and leaves space for their pompom tails to pop out.  That is just too darn cute.










I don't have any specific plans for them, except to keep me company in the studio, but don't you think they'd be great in Easter baskets?

It's here!


Spring, that is. Snow is melting and my irises are now peeking out in my flower beds, but there is still a few weeks to go before it all turns green outside. We'll have to make do with whites and greys for a little while...

In the spirit of Easter, I have sewn a little bunny this week, all by hand. I found out that I am not very good at hand sewing, and I had to redo some of my stitches, but I made it, finally! The complete instructions for this small plush animal and its variations are shown here.

I had made the mushrooms earlier this winter, also from a tutorial found on a blog.

I had a day off from work today for Easter and spent most of it sewing my patchwork bag. It is now almost complete, only the handles are missing. I'll post a picture of the result when I am done.

Happy Easter to all, I am off to a sugar shack party at my parents' house in the country.
