Bunny Wardrobe in the Works

 

I've been working on bunnies recently, and my current bunny related project is a mix and match wardrobe for my aunt's bunny. I started with a stack of fabrics, and much like what happens when I'm sewing clothes for people, I did my least favorite part (cutting out) all at one time.

An array of garments in various fabrics

The fabrics look to me like they will play well together to make a wide variety of outfits. It was kinda hard to decide where I would start... but I went with the rusty dots, since it was only one garment, an overdress.

 The next set I did was the bees. When I picked up that fabric, I thought it was very cute, with chubby little bees on it... but I know how people are with insects, and especially bees, so I wondered it a whole dress would be too much. So, I made a skirt, and a top (with really puffy sleeves, and I think it turned out pretty well!

They are bee-having!

Then it was the yellow fabric's turn. Another skirt and top (not as puffy and a pair of bloomers. Also, I made a tie on collar. It's nice to have options, right? Also I thought the collar would be cute with the overdress.

So cheerful!

It is almost impossible to see in these pictures, but there is a little viney print on this yellow fabric, and I have some very cute white flower buttons I'd like to add here and there. Or a little but of daisy trim. Maybe on the waistband and the armbands on the sleeves?  I'll have to see... Opinions anyone?

Finally, I'm working on the rusty colored solid pieces. A shirt, a skirt (pleated this time, experimentally) and two pairs of pantaloons, one slightly poofy, and one pair more poofy. There is also a reversable vest, rust on one side, yellow on the other.

 I hope you can picture some of the variations and possibilities with these pieces working together in different combinations. I haven't had them made long enough to do a possibilities fashion show even for myself! And, of course the rusty solid pieces aren't even all finished yet! The made good progress towards that today, though.

I've had this little bunny jumper done for a while. It makes a change for the whole wardrobe, though.

In the front, it's a cute sailor type collar, in the back, ladybug wings

My aunt is patiently waiting for her bunny. I hope she can wait until after the fair! I would really like to enter this bunny and her wardrobe. I did warn her that might happen...
