Teeny tinies

This week I’ve had a lot of fun making some teeny toys for the little cotton rabbits. So much so that I thought you might like to have a go too.

So I’ve written up a free pattern which you can find here. It’s a bit fiddly and is probably an evening’s work but they are fun to make and at our house they are proving very popular, as you can see…

Honey loves her little bunny – she’s named him Pip and she never goes anywhere without him!

Well, the most recent batch of toys have all hopped away to their new homes and yesterday I heard from Rachel who won the 200th post prize draw that her little rabbit had arrived. She requested a sailor dress and I really enjoyed experimenting with the collar on this one – I’ll definitely make some more nautically inspired toys.

Anyway, for a while I’ve been meaning to catch up with some of the toys who’ve settled happily into their new homes. So, here they are with a big thank you to everyone who has sent me pictures.
