turns out the Easter Bunny is a close cousin of dear Elise and Elsa Elf! Only differences are some ears, a dress and a nose. Oh, and a really BIG bow. I can draw these pieces up with instructions for those who are interested in adapting the Elise/Elsa pattern, just let me know. They won’t be all fancy because Tim is crazybusy these days but they’ll do the trick.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
So adorable! I have the Elise/Elsa pattern but would really LOVE the adaptations for that sweet bunny! You’re Amazing!
I love your bunny!
I would take some adaptations, I should also get that pattern.
By the way, I love the dolly gallery in the background!
I also love seeing all the dolls in the background! I’ve often wondered what you do with the wonderful creations you make.
this confirms my suspicion!
i love them both but i am uber distracted by the shelf in the background! i can barely see it but i know it’s too cute for words 🙂
I would love the adaptations for the bunny. All your patterns are so sweet!
I did notice that they looked alike! I’d love to have the dress pattern for the bunny! Luckily I have the elves already. 🙂
I love the bunny, I turned one of my dolls into a bunny too. I have the elves but avent given it ago yet.
Lovely bunnies.
Have a great day.
It would be exciting to see an adventure with this troupe.
PLEASE pass along the adaptations… I ADORE your bunny and was hoping to make one for my Fresh Air Fund “sister!”
Thanks for the patterns and inspirations!
That would be so nice… that bunny is too cute!!!!!
I would love the adaptations. I already have the pattern, and would like to make two for my girls’ Easter Baskets. Thanks!
I don’t have the pattern but sure want to make the bunny! Tell me how to get the patterns:)

Yes! Yes! I have the Elise/Elsa pattern and I would love the bunny adaptations. Super adorable! On another note, I think you said that you buy much of your flannel for the bodies and faces at Joann’s (as have I) and I was wondering if you’ve found that the fabric holds up well if actually played with? My son LOVES the space boy I made for him recently but the flannel face is already pilling as is the felt belt. Any suggestions for sturdy doll fabric are welcomed!
OH.MY.ADORABLE!!!!! You are superly talented!!!
shut up. that bunny is too cute.
This just moved to the top of my Easter to do (above dresses…no, I’m not joking) but I am having a hard time getting the adaptations. When I click the link it takes me to paper dolls. 🙁 This could just be me. It has been one of those days technology wise.
that link will take you to the freebies page. if you have paper dolls at the top of the freebies page still it is probably cached. hit refresh a bunch.
oh, I see it now! the text link is wrong. i’m fixing it now…
hi stacey,
cotton or canvas won’t pill. canvas will be hard to turn out. some of those synthetic stretchy fabrics would be nice for skin but most are too stretchy to hold a shape when stuffed. for the belt, wool is used so you don’t have to finish the edges. if you wanted to finish them you could use any sturdy denim, canvas type fabric.
love the adaptations for the bunny. All your patterns are so sweet!
