This bunny worked up quick but attaching the legs gave me fits. I had to redo them about 4 times before I was happy with them.

I decided to leave off the snout and just embroider the nose on and also made a french knot for the eyes so that it is safe for small children.

Notes from dress project page:
This dress gave me fits. There seems to be a lot of other hookers that have the same fitting issues.

I had to redo the dress three times to get it to somewhat fit and it still isn’t quite right.

I can’t even remember now how many chains I had to to start with, maybe 32 but I should’ve done more.

I added about 2-3 more sc rows to the bottom to make it longer.

I added a row of sc in white all the way around so that I could sew it closed in the end.

My dress is not attached to the bunny itself but I wouldn’t recommend trying to remove it. The fit is very snug and I attached the back of the dress by weaving in/out on the sc edging, down and round the tail, making sure not to squeeze it too tight and distort it, then continued weaving the dress closed just a few more stitches under the tail to hold it closed. I left a gap in the bottom back because I liked the look of it better than all the way seamed. It’s like a mini-slit :)

Because the dress was snug under the armpits I couldn’t do the straps, it looked terrible so I improvised and chained 31, and counted to the 16th ch and attached that one to the middle of the dress (15ch on each side) I wrapped around neck and met back at the middle front, sl st to the first st to make the V and fastened off and weaved in the end from the back of the dress.

I felt her head looked too plain so I made a tiny flower accessory and it is perfect! It certainly completes the look.

I haven’t decided if I’m doing the shoes or not. After the dress issues, I’m not looking forward to it.
