My older daughter Hannah decided that this bunny was going to be hers half way through making her. Hannah has called her Maisie.
You can't tell on the photo but the fabric is quite unusual it has a wave through the pile so each peice has two different pile directions (hope that make sense). I loved working with this fabirc, but the paw pads where a different matter all together 
I have decided NEVER to use light ultra suede again, it was like sewing through leather!!!!
Anyway, Hannah loves her, which makes it all worth while and she has already put in her next order for a panda -I'll do it right after I've finished my polar bear, made Sophies bunny, made a dog for mum .............. mmmmm better get going!!!!

YorkshireHello ......... she's not that bad is she 
Hi Ali, I love your bunny - no wonder your daughter has snapped her up!! You gradually learn about what fabric "work" and what to avoid. I know what you mean about your daughter, my little one always wants to keep each of the bears I make, and it is hard for her to understand that Mummy can't give her everyone. I wish I could, but I need to make a few pennies to pay the bills!!

No wonder, Hannah wants to keep Maisie to herself 
The fabric looks wonderful and I know what you mean about the paw pad fabric. I have tried different fabric for the paws and some of it is impossible to sew.
My daughter keep all my bears too When I first started making bears (I'm still a newbie) I thought I might be able to sell a few of them and earn enough to keep my costs of buying new supplies down - but I haven't sold any bears yet and I probably wont sell any either until the day my daughter "grows out" of bears :crackup:
Anyway, I don't mind.....I love having my very own 1-member-fanclub
Cleathero CreationsYour bunny is fine. I'm on the throws of making a bunny too but very different. Yor daughter will want all your creations. I have 4 daughters and have to wrestle them all away to sell them!!
Awww arn't you doing well Ali, he is really cute. Keep on sewing :clap: :clap:

YorkshireOh I'm so pleased you like her - thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement.
It really means alot to me, because I know I have along way to go to get to the high standards of you fab ladies.
I'm quite happy making animals for my family at the moment whilst I learn - I wouldn't be happy to sell any yet until I'm 100% happy with them. I have quite a few patterns I would like to make first and Hannah has asked me to make a bear that I will have to try and make a pattern for - so I will happily plod along.......
