calico rabbit, a softie for bea and mirabel



this is a little bunny softie who turned out rather well! i'm a softie novice so any project that works out to being close to what i envisaged is a good project.

she was made by roughly using bits of the
mimi kirshner doll pattern, namely the idea of using buttons as hip joints to give her legs a bit of swing and the dress pattern. this bunny also has button joint shoulders. she was one of bea's birthday presents and has been named melissa. funny, eighties inspired name choice huh?

PS
i also made this rabbit but with a different dress (and named louella) for the softies for mirabel drive that ends tomorrow! i didn't get a chance to take a photo of her because i was embroidering her face features on the train and sent her off yesterday at lunch in a rush! i hope she gets there OK, i will be thinking of her. . .
