Work In Progress - Fat Bunny

I’ve had this idea of making a bunny in my head for a while, from even before the nubby dolls or pee pee monsters or anything. I tried once before and it was a dismal failure. But now with some experience under my belt I decided to try again. This isn’t the original bunny I had envisioned. It’s fatter and the ears are floppier. I must dig up the original sketch…

Well anyhoo, she’s made out of garbage fabric again. I wanted to work out her design first before moving onto fabric I like. And good thing I did. There is actually another bunny before this but it was all flat and sad.

I haven’t decided on the limbs yet. I liked the bendy arms and legs on the pattern doll so I made one arm and one leg bendy to see how they looked. When I showed her to Alan he was confused. He said it looked like one of the arms was broken. :)

I really like how she turned out. She’s partly filled with pellets and the rest polyfil so she has a nice heavy butt for sitting and the rest of her is soft and flopsy. She needs a little dress and apron I think and of course a face. Then I will move onto a real bunny with real fabric.
