sadietoo Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 With the coat and this little rabbit http://www.coolcrafting.co.uk/shop/luna-lapin/luna-lapins-raglan-sleeve-woolfelt-coat-and-polka-dot-dress/spotted at the Country Living Fair at the weekend. I know it is far beyond my dressmaking skills but my goodness how gorgeous. Wish I could have a full sized version of the coat for me. Edited to add the coat is in the little picture!!

Luvachicken Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I have a very similar rabbit that was given to me as a baby (45yrs ago) She has a polka dot dress and long pantaloons and was entirely hand made by the mum in the bed next to my mum. I still have her but I'm sure she might need a playmate .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they do have a few in stock still. But It depends on the colour of the dress you want. . It arrived within two days so very impressive The kit comes with everything you need to make the rabbit and dress with the bow. I have in fact completed the rabbit and will post pictures tomorrow if I can remember how to! I must say I am pleased with the result and I'm looking forward to having a stab at the dress !

beccauk Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ooo I can't wait to see your finished one, I ended up being impatient and ordering one lastnight I thought it was just lovelly especially when you can buy just the felt to make another once you have the pattern. Look forward to seeing yours, was it easy not the best at hand stitch. becca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beccauk Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Well I could easily make that mistake, don't worry I was out lastnight looking forward to seeing it tho, I struggle loading photos going between photo bucket and trying to resize it always is too big or too small lol. So I rarely put them on. becca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Well I'm really sorry but photo bucket has almost driven me to distraction this evening. I had forgotten what a faff it is to upload photos. it won't play ball without access to our photo albums although I should be able to upload directly from the camera on the iPad. If I'm feeling a bit stronger (more patient) later I'll have another bash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccauk Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 It sounds as though you have the same problems as me trying to upload photos , quiet annoying when takes me nearly an hour I can always pm me email , then if I manage to do mine I can send you a photo, lol I also ordered a mini craft jar project a mini mouse that looked very cute, I could of ordered otheres had to stop myself because I have to make them lol I can be inpatient.

Plum Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yes I wish you could upload directly like on other forums, perhaps Omlet will change it one day. Mouse sounds fidley but I'd love to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccauk Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Il try and put it on when I get it done, the company has great customer service, I ordered a colour way they had sold out of and they emailed me with another option it was so nice to not have disappointment of just receiving a order with an item sold out it was so nice to have a personal service.

redbug Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 There are lots of wonderful quilters on this site they have made some gorgeous pieces of work. Go through the what have you made thread (I know 100 + pages) but some great ideas from clever crafters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ooh Becca do try quilting. It's a lovely pastime and gives you a chance to collect fabulous fabrics in small amounts. A crafty class is quite a good place to start. Patterns, videos and interactive discussions.

sadietoo Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Becca that's lovely and you put me to shame with posting a photo too! I finished Luna's dress yesterday. Thank you for encouraging me to go for it Plum. I really enjoyed making it. Dd is home today so I will see if she can help me get my head around loading a photo. I'm just not keen on having all our family photos on the iPad here on their site which is why I abandoned my attempt before. I too fancy having a go at quilting. Becca have you seen this site for some good tutorials which are not too long ( I covet one of their "pop up" irons too ! http://quiltingtutorials.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccauk Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think I would like to make all of those quilts I thought I reconised the lady I watched the jelly roll race quilt which was what made me think I might be worth trying as seemed easy , as when you see the quilts they look quiet difficult I know im going abit off piste but does anyone know any good websites for getting fat quaters or jelly rolls they seem expensive? Becca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 It is expensive but I just buy a few fat quarters at a time, try Doughtys and Fabric Guild Ikea's not bad for fabric and you get unusual patterns for backing. Try markets or cut up dresses and blouses from charity shops. Failing that attack the old man's shirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
