This week I've struggled to find sewing time - mostly it's been quite late at night which - for me - isn't the best time to sew (tiredness and lack of natural light being the two main reasons). I can't really complain, though, because orders for my painted personalised gifts are what's keeping me busy. Still, I've managed to squeeze a bit of time in for the Sewing World rabbit ...
The deadline is looming very soon for this rabbit, and it needs to be clothed too. Twice in fact - I've promised a girl and boy version, although this particular rabbit will be a cross-dresser rather than two completely different rabbits. Now there's a first, surely?!
I hope to report s/he is finished, dressed (twice) and posted off for his/her photo shoot by this time next week - I think I'm running a little late on this one. I also need to write up the instructions and draw and scan the pattern pieces - although I wonder where the time is going to come from.
So, there may well be a little bit more rabbit-themed sewing this evening. The rabbit itself is almost finished (it just needs a hand-sewn nose and mouth then it's onto the clothes, which are still only in the rough draft stage) and I'm happy to report that the linen mix fabric is sewing up like a dream (I love the fabric so much I think I may treat myself to some more to make a pair of trousers in readiness for that Indian summer we're owed in lieu of a real one).
Over to you now - enjoy Handmade Monday and visiting all the amazing blogs linking up this week:
