Ready, Set Go!

 

I'm getting some new projects underway. When I post about a project I often have thought about it from beginning to end. SOMETIMES, projects can sit, waiting, for a while before I get to them, and whatever thought process there once was is gone. 

baskets of spring flowers

This dress, for instance. I cut it out a while back (I'm talking years back), and while I put the collar together, and put it in the bodice, that's as far as I got until this week. Now, it just needs the bottom ruffle to be ready for SPRING! 

This evening, instead of finishing it (it is nothing if not patient), I consulted my planning list, and cut out some bunny clothes. My aunt requested a bunny, and I am in the process of making a wardrobe for it. Why? Well, the wardrobe is part of the fun for me.

An array of bunny clothes to be

I've made bunnies several times over the course of about 40 years (OH MY GOSH!! Has it really been that long? Yes, yes it has!) and I think my outfitting of the bunnies has evolved. The dress at the top is definitely from a while ago. It follows one of the patterns I have just so. That fabric, too. And muslin accents. OK, to be fair, I can still go for some muslin. These latest bunnies have had some experimentation. There is something to be said for that super gathered dress. It is cute. But lots of things are cute, right? I've tinkered with the patterns. Turned bodices into shirts, turned bloomers into pants. Made a vest or two. So, now there are some separates going on. I experimented with elastic waisted skirts, but this time, I'm trying a waistband. Some pieces still have that extreme gathering, and some have less. It is fun to experiment!

I made a vest that has ladybug wings

Two different versions of ladybug outfits.

This bunny has a collar that is wings in the back

So, on with the creation! On with the learning process! On with the fun!

Oh, yeah, and on the crochet front, I started this cute dinocorn. A dinosaur unicorn? Yes, please!

Another request in turquoise!

Hope you can find your happy place too!
