Easter Bunny Dolls - in Plaid
Guest Author - Susan Kramer

What can be more fun than making several of these 12 inch fabric bunnies in plaid for special friends or to display on shelves!

In the 1st photo is a bunny doll in bright plaid along with Floppy, our resident hound - who never fails to find a way into the action!

The 2nd photo shows another plaid bunny doll and the 12 inch Anneke Dutch Doll.

Hints for working with plaid

- Allow more yardage than needed with a calico print to match the plaid pattern.

- Match plaids at tops of arms and legs, and even if material widens or narrows you still have the perpendicular pattern in line across the seam.

- If you are cutting out pieces from 2 layers of material be very careful each plaid layer is perfectly matched over the other.

- When lining up where the face of the bunny will be on the material, keep symmetry in mind. I chose to keep the nose the central feature in the bunnies in the photo.

- Choose contrasting colors for embroidering the features so they stand out from the plaid.

- Another way to display your bunny dolls is as a sidekick to your computer monitor.

Most of all, have fun making these bunny dolls - from start to finish I count on 5 hours to make each.
