Although these bunnies don’t seem as happy about being hit with a ball. Or maybe bunnies just don’t smile like gnomes.

The good news is that there are only 6 bunnies to make as opposed to 10 gnomes and the instructions are really clear and these bunnies are really cute. There are 7 steps for making the bunny, none of them hard, and if you can’t finish all of them, they are nice on their own :)</p> </blockquote> <p>It’s got to go on the stuff to sew list!</p>http://vickikatemakes.tumblr.com/post/7921902070http://vickikatemakes.tumblr.com/post/7921902070Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:08:22 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lopggpssMR1qd7m6no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I Love this!</p>http://vickikatemakes.tumblr.com/post/7921885491http://vickikatemakes.tumblr.com/post/7921885491Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:07:13 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lob1wjAVVR1qlyrxgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.makethislook.com/post/7601430808" target="_blank">makethislook</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://www.sewweekly.com/2011/07/mtl-blue-ribbon-pie-skirt.html" target="_blank">MTL: Blue Ribbon Pie Skirt - The Sew Weekly Sewing Blog & Vintage Fashion Community</a>)</p> </blockquote> <p>Like the skirt, would omit the pockets.  Probably wouldn’t use blue gingham as it’s a bit too school uniform like to me - but an autumnal plaid…  Hmmm…</p>http://vickikatemakes.tumblr.com/post/7921867898http://vickikatemakes.tumblr.com/post/7921867898Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:05:59 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loo8jsULTU1qlyrxgo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.makethislook.com/post/7877621003" target="_blank">makethislook</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://www.sewweekly.com/2011/07/mtl-uptown-excursions-dress.html" target="_blank">MTL: Uptown Excursions Dress - The Sew Weekly Sewing Blog & Vintage Fashion Community</a>)</p> </blockquote> <p>Love this re-make.  Haven’t been to keen on a few of the last ones, but this one is on the sew list!</p>http://vickikatemakes.tumblr.com/post/7921852569http://vickikatemakes.tumblr.com/post/7921852569Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:04:55 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo3lrvwzUH1qb8vpuo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://firsttimeuser.tumblr.com/post/7482856643" target="_blank">firsttimeuser</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span> </span></p> <p>The Life Aquatic.
