hattie the rabbit

do you ever make something and just fall madly in love with it? i am seriously in love with my latest finished project! 


so i'd like to introduce you to hattie the rabbit :) ooh isn't she just soo cute?! and i had soo much fun stitching her together. she is made with this pattern by alicia paulson


she is all hand-stitched, which if you know me i do not like hand-stitching at all! but hattie was worth it!


hattie loves to explore and loves playing with fabric (of course) she loves flowers and pretty dresses, she's not really girl-y but likes lots of girl-y stuff! but...


...her absolute favourite thing to do is climb trees and go on adventures, but she wishes she knew how to tie her shoe laces so she doesn't keep tripping over them on her adventures!



i used the kit to make her but instead of using the liberty fabric to make her dress and ears i used my absolute favourite print from wild and free by maureen cracknell i think i will be making many more dresses for her for all the seasons!

it wasn't one of the easier projects i've done, just because it's all hand sewn and i had to learn all the stitches (but seriously how fun is blanket stitch?) i'm glad i persevered and finished her, because she is just too cute to be left sitting in the big pile of all my other unfinished projects!

  5. she is adorable and looks very professionally made! I don't blame you for swapping the Liberty for a nicer print, I bought a kit to make Luna Lapin and she comes with Liberty for her dress, I won't be using it as I really don't like Liberty.
