February Make 2

Thanks for the nice comments on my last post!  And welcome to new followers!


Here is my second February make... a gift for my baby nephew.  Another homemade gift for the poor boy!!


What is it...?  A bowling pin with arms?!




Hold on...




It's a rabbit!!  But where's his face?!




Here it is!




The knitting part of this all went rather smoothly... but sewing the fabric to the ears and feet I found a bit more tricky.  I sewed them right-sides together on the machine, then had to try to turn them the right way round through a tiny gap - very fiddly!  (Admittedly, I could have just left a bigger gap but then the hand-sewing of the fabric to the knitting was tricky too, and sewing them to the body).  By the time that was all done, I'd had enough - but there was only the face to embroider... surely that wouldn't take long......  hhhmmmmnnnn!!!!!


I just couldn't get it right - I kept embroidering different faces on, and having to unpick them!  This was the 5th face - 2 days after finishing the rest of the rabbit!  I had to keep 'sleeping on it' and approaching it again the next day!  I'm finally pleased with this one!  I think I can safely say this is not going to be a project that I will ever repeat!!!

  2. Aw bless, so cute!
    Isn't it funny how long some little jobs take (like sewing on faces). Well, not funny. Actually very annoying.
    Love him, though.
