A Bufkins Bunny Bonnet & Basket

I'm back at sewing, yea!  I thought I'd start with
 something I can use a bigger needle with, easier
to grasp.  So, I dug out my hat mold & stitched up
a Bufkin bunny bonnet.


Leaving room for the ears.

Since the Bufkin girl bunnies favorite flower is the
 rose, I chose a velvet wild rose.  Also, a few tiny blue
 velvet forget-me-nots, velvet leaves, some vintage
 millinery radishes and a dark green silk ribbon.

I cut the large leaves into smaller ones.

Added a length of ribbon to each side.

Doesn't every bunny want a radish hat?

This bunny will also need a little basket
 for foraging in the woods.
Vintage carrots, some moss &
 
 teeny mushrooms too.
Along the way, she'll spread some
Heirloom Wild Rose seeds.
Time to start stitching a Bufkin bunny!

Welcome to the world!
 Miss Ava is very excited to have a baby brother.

  2. Oh how I love your Bunny Bonnets! The basket full of goodies is wonderful too. I'm glad your back to sewing...at least with a bigger size needle for now. Bunny time is just around the corner and I'll have to stitch up a few.
    I enjoyed the photo of Miss Ava and the sweet smile as she watches her baby brother. Love the name Emmet James. What a lovely family. Congratulations to your niece and her husband.

  3. What a great way to celebrate your return to sewing! Your Bufkin bunny bonnet is a work of art, for sure. And, of course it would be a fashionable radish hat complete with velvet wild rose and dark green silk ribbons. I love it! Congratulations to all your family on the beautiful baby boy!
