Expecting? Then expect a bunny.....

One of my favourite things to make are Tilda bunnies. I give them as gifts to friends and family who are expecting or had a baby. They are so cute and extremely quick and easy to make. I made this little chappy yesterday for a good friend who is expecting her first baby.  She does not know what she is having yet but I decided to make her a lemon one to be neutral. In the book Crafting Springtime Gifts by Tone Finnaganer the bunnies have little dresses on and Pantaloon's underneath. However I have adapted the pantaloons with the bib of the dress to make dungarees because I was asked to make one for a friend of Michaela's who had a little boy. I also added a pretty fabric to the inside of the bunnies ears to add a bit more colour and interest. I know its new owner will adore it just as much as I do.

Hi Caz I have not had a go at the bear. I tried the cat once from another of her books but it looked more like a mouse haha x
