I've been experimenting today, to try to come up with a realistic rabbit. Here is my prototype alongside the very simple but unrealistic one I did for the J-club members. The new one is double sided with four legs as we discussed in Toogie's thread in community.

You did a great job Sue! I just LOVE him!

Love the fluffy tail xx

I thought I aw these and it did not register that it is made like the elephant! Love it!

We like the realistic bunnies too.

Yes, my favourite is your realistic. Looks like hopping happily into
Easter - but the "unrealistic" also has its charm just being there.
Well, I love them both :-)

Love your rabbit! k

He looks like the perfect little bunny!

Love both of them, they are so cute!
Hugs, Lidia

You came along with a very realistic rabbit

I love the pose of your rabbit, leaping along. You have done a great job in designing this, especially as it is in the hoop.

Terrific job Sue - just in time for Easter.

wow great job Sue which we were back online so we can make some bunny's Love all the little furry animals - thanks for sharing the idea to use an dressing gown hubby doesn't use his ha, i think i am going to use it for YOU know what lol

Oh, so cute. Where is DBC when we need it. I know, no whining.

He's an adorable little guy.

Nicely done...don't you just love the thinking in a jigsaw puzzle?

Strangely I loathe jigsaw puzzles, but I love engineering with fabric!

Oh boy i have never made a stuffed animal of any kind the fluff don't like me lol
They look lovely Sue hugs

I like both bunnies ,the flat bunny would be easier for a baby or small toddler to handle.
Saw a real baby bunny on Tuesday hopping along the footpath in front of our parked car,in a very busy street which is full of shops ,panel beaters etc.

He is cute with the powder puff tail/Lillian

I love your bunnies the real looking one is very cute ,great work Sue

He's cute. Nice prototype. They instantly look better with 4 legs.
I still have a booklet on how to design stuffed animals, from the 70s, complete with how to design the bellies and in some cases a tapered part for the head and back as well. Would need several hoopings to get the animal, but it would be far more accurate than doing them by sewing machine.

On my first elephant I had gusset in the head and back, but I didn't attempt to join it all in the hoop! That book sounds interesting.

They SO cute....Stunning

It is left over from a dressing gown! Sort of stretch toweling with a fleecy back.

Never discard any garment, you would never know when it could be used for another purpose. Anyway I think bunny looks great. G
