Pocket Bunny Pattern
making some more pocket bunnies .. i think these are a tad larger than the 'bunny eggs' ... and i 'sewed and turned' the ears cuz' i made them a little larger. this pattern is about 5 inches tall and the ears are about 3 inches tall. you can jus' do that olde 'eye-ballin' thingie .. and make your larger or smaller. i tried to make mine just about the right size to fit in a child's 'pocket'.
will make 'springtime' little 'sack dresses' for them .. getting ready to head out for a VERY SNOWY weekend at a lodge with honey hunk .. but will post a pic of the 'sack' pattern when i get back .. and these little dudes can become a 'girl' or 'boy' bunny just by the fabric you make the sack out of!
to make them .. just sew around the body/head and around the ears. leave the BOTTOM of the ears and the BOTTOM of the bunny open for turning. only stuff the BODY .. not the ears. i just 'hand-tacked' the ears onto the back of the head. will applique some little 'bunny shaped' noses (a triagle-ish shape with the point DOWN) .. you can stitch a bunny mouth too if you wish .. and add some little stitched eyes .. jus' simple ones.
actually, the 'sack outfit' is a little larger version of the bunny bottom part .. but you have to make the top of the sack large enough to squish your bunny body into. i just 'gather the neckline and tack it TO the bunny. then add a ribbon around the bunny's neck and embellish it anyway you like. (a pocket sewn to the 'dress' to hold some 'jelly beans' is a nice idea too. have fun and hope to see some pictures of finished ones when we get back home. have a great weekend farmgirls! xo

Can't wait to see these done! Bunnys are most FAVORITE thing ever!! I used to collect them....till them dang things started takin' over the house.....and not a one of them would help with the dishes....so that put an end to that.......BUT, every once in a while...there's one that just grabs my heart...and away home with me it goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These look small enough that I could have 5..maybe 6 and have NO problems at all!!LOL

YOU ARE ONE BUSY GIRL, CAN'T WAIT FOR MY BOX!! Will keep checking out your site to see what you are up to. Doing some embroidery today, did some mail art yesterday, or at least I think I did, not really sure what mail art is. of course the yo yo's are always calling me, only need about 8000 more. making a pretty doilie, remembered how much fun that is once I got started, lots of reading to do, and I just have to check in to this great place several times a day.Not to mention my house, Richard, big kids little kids. life is good, one day at a time.

Nancy, it's Crisco. But I have used butter as well. So use whatever you have on hand. :o)
