Little Bunny Blue...

I am simply delighted to be sharing this little boy bunny with you today, dear readers...

I have been wanting to create a boy version of my Miss Lettice Rabbits for quite some time now, and this week I had the lovely chance of doing so when I received a request for boy bunny from an Etsy customer!

What do you think of this adorable boy bunny?  Instead of making a frilly dress and pantaloons, I made him some simple dungarees with a cross-stitch heart ''patch'' on the one leg.  

The bib is in coordinating blue fabric and boasts a sweet little pocket.  I did add a little blue anglaise at the bottom of each leg of the pants...just for some extra charm!  {{smiles}}

I hope to add a few more boy bunnies to my Etsy shoppe very soon...

Have a wonderful, creative week further, friends!

Vintage Style Collector’s Bunny ~ Miss Lettice

I just had to introduce you to sweet Miss Lettice, one of my latest sewing projects… 

Recently I shared photographs of these darling rabbits on my personal blog, Beautiful Girlhood, but since then I’ve made a few minor changes and improvements to my pattern and to the clothing...

This rabbit has a certain vintage charm which is quite striking and her clothes are perfectly suited to her as well.
I had such a lovely time designing and creating on my sewing machine and I am so happy with how she turned out!

Of course I must also say a thank you to my very dear mother, who not only encouraged me to make Miss Lettice her adorable pantaloons, but also assisted me with making changes to patterns, etc. 

And to my kind younger sisters who were more than willing to share their opinions and ideas for improvements with me…they have each requested one, but I’m not so sure I can have five made in time for Easter to gift all of them with!

But now, let me tell you a few more details about Miss Lettice and show you why she is so special…

Miss Lettice has an unbleached calico body and ears made from patterned quilting cotton… 

She is 100% handmade with love and created with the utmost attention to detail.

I embroidered her simple face with tiny stitches and gave her claws on her dear little paws…  Of course I just had to give her pink cheeks with a touch of blush, too!

Her frock is made in coordinating fabrics, and the skirt is gathered and trimmed with lace for added vintage charm…

 

I added a teeny little pocket to the front bodice piece and adorable blue buttons to keep the straps in place…Did I ever mention how much I love buttons…?

 

The sweet pantaloons have a ruffle near the hem and I also added a little bow for more of a three dimensional effect…

 

 I love these delightful blue fabrics - they are so soft and beautiful to look at!

I can just picture sweet Miss Lettice sitting among precious sewing books or on a new baby’s bed, bringing joy to the heart of each person who stops by to pay her some small attention or give her a cuddle… 

And I hope she will bless many - just as she has blessed me…

I think Miss Lettice will become a very special part of Heartmade and the work that I am indeed privileged to do in the future…

With love,
 Kelly-Anne
