Sleeping Bunnies

See the bunnies sleeping till it’s nearly noon
Shall we wake them with a merry tune?
They`re so still, are they ill?
Wake up little bunnies!
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop - Hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop...

Shortly after my son was born, I purchased a really sweet little small Maileg bunny that looks a bit like this, but without the pj's,  and ever since I have had this desire to have a go at making one. Well the moment finally arrived a few weeks back, I undressed the little bunny and had a go at drawing out a pattern in the size I thought best and with a little tweaking here and there some rather sweet little sleeping bunnies were born.
 

 

I had heaps of fun making these little darlings with their long ears and big feet

  

 

 

stitching their little faces

 

and best of all making their little night dresses.

I couldn't just stop with the girls, no of course not, there needed to be some boys 

I had heaps of fun stitching these little over sized dungarees, especially using fun prints such as this London design

and this sweet Riley Blake design

 

 

 

 

I just love these prints, they are fun and really lovely designs and it has been such a joy making these. I only intended to make a couple, but got a bit carried away, so I am sure there will be quite a few left after the preschool fundraiser, which I will pop in my Etsy Shop which will hopefully open in the beginning of December. For now though I am working on a myriad of different things, which I promise to share soon.

To be honest one doesn't need to look far for inspiration on linen hares or bunnies as so many people are making them, but for me the beautiful linen bunnies made by the lovely Stephanie from Millefeuilles just have the edge and have most certainly inspired me. If you haven't already seen these, you do need to pop over to have a look, they are simply beautiful!!

Wake up little bunnies!
Jump little bunnies, jump, jump, jump
Jump, jump, jump - jump, jump, jump
Jump little bunnies, jump, jump, jump
Jump, jump, jump...
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop, hop, hop, - hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
hop, hop, hop...
