Have you met the Mostly Marvelous Ms. Rabbit yet? No? Well then it's about time you did! This fabulous Ms. Rabbit Sewing Pattern is designed by my friend Annie. Annie has a lovely blog named Bird and Little Bird and makes an inspiring e-zine called Alphabet Glue (if you & your kids love books and reading related activities you must check Alphabet Glue out!)
I had the pleasure of making Ms. Rabbit's pal the Semi-Fantastic Mr. Fox a while ago (see photo below) and it was so much fun! The instructions were very easy to follow so you will not need any previous 'plush' making experience.
It's quite possible you don't want to stop at just one rabbit either....
If you want a chance to win this Mostly Marvelous Ms. Rabbit PDF Sewing Pattern, leave a comment on this blog post and tell me what the name of your favourite plush toy was (or is!). Mine was a teddy bear called Lappie which means something like 'small cloth' :)
Again, be sure to leave an e-mail address or some kind of trail so I'll be able to find you.
mine was a minnie mouse we bought in america, boring eh :)
ReplyDeleteMine is a blue monkey which to this day sits on my bed. Poor thing doesn't have a name it was always just "Aff" which is Swiss German for monkey.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a lovely giveaway!
Upsidedown Pooh --as his head is heavier than his body!
ReplyDeleteI had a bear ~ I don't remember his name but he was really wonderful and worn.
ReplyDeleteAww - what a lovely bunny! I had a bunny who was floppy and had corderoy ears and a brown gingham dress. Still have him/her. Not an original name - just Bunny. Would love to win this pattern as I have a brand new neice :)
ReplyDeleteEeek, the bunnies are so cute! My favorite was a bear that was rainbow striped named Rainbow Teddy! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're adorable! My was/is a denim elephant that my mom bought for me from a craft fair when I was very young. Her name isn't very imaginative - it's Elephanté (pronounced as if it's French).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous rabbits!
ReplyDeleteI had a knitted mouse with a removable waistcoat!
My favorite is a stuffed hippo made by my mother. His name is Harry and despite being threadbare in spots and stained, he still holds a special place in my heart.
ReplyDeleteJust love these bunnies!
Lovely little fabric pets!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like handmade softies; I often make a small soft friend for me (gods, giraffes, bunnies...).
my favourite is Oscar, the dog I made in october, thanks to a lovely pattern I found for free.
In my childood my brother and I were in love with a bunny called (ahem) Bunni -___-
I always coveted one of my brother's toys, Spot (a purple dog with a green tail) - he was quite threadbare but I thought he was lovely. This bunny pattern is just lovely. Love the fox too!
ReplyDeleteAs the middle child of 12 (well 11 we lost one) i had a hand me down rag something i named olive...(popeyes girl) which i was later named myself...(long thin legs) ...she lives in my attic now...very fond of her...holes n all...
ReplyDeleteI had a platypus called Mokka, which was named after a platypus in one of my favourite childhood books.
ReplyDeleteMuch more imaginative than my mouse, called Mousie, and my softie owl, called Owly Fowly.
I didn't really have one - but my sister stole my teddy called Timmy. And my daughter had Barney Bernard Pickles. Alas, he was lost and we could never find a replacement. I still check the stuffies every time I go to a thrift store on the off chance he will show up...
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to win the pattern!
ReplyDeleteWhen a child, I had a yellow plush teddy bear called Misha. Now when sewing my own toys I lke to give them old Russian names (they will sound strange to you, I guess)): Zakhar, Kuzya, Raya, Zina... :)
I had a stuffed dog named goldie. I have no idea why i named him that i just liked it! I love your patterns and all your embroidery - i just wish my imagination was 1/10th what yours is!
ReplyDeletebruno the bear! love those rabbits!
ReplyDeleteOh they are adorable! My bear was cleverly called big bear!
ReplyDeleteSweet Rabbit! I had a rag doll that I called Dancie - she liked to dance of course!
