I was lucky enough to get one of the (sold out in one day) Maggie Rabbit kits from Alicia Paulson (
rosie little things). I ordered extra felt (from
here) and some Liberty of London fabric (from
here).

the pattern calls for a little bit of knitting to make the cape. my mom tried to teach me to knit sometime in the ‘80s. I remember trying to make a navy blue and magenta sweater, which seemed to take forever and never did get finished. this little bunny cape is actually a really good starting project for someone wanting to learn to knit. I found a copy of
Stitch ‘N Bitch (the knitter’s handbook) by Debbie Stoller at a used bookstore. That, combined with YouTube tutorials, and I think I did a pretty good job for my first completed knit item.


I finished Miss Maggie too late last night to take any decent photos, so I tried to get a photo shoot in this morning before going to work. don’t see much of my neighbors – but of course this is the morning they decide to ride the same bus as me. ummm… not quite sure what they thought of this:

Maggie wanted to take a walk in the park and then she got tired. :-)
(I had to shorten the sleeves a little due to a cutting snafu. was so intent on fussy-cutting for the front of the dress, that I forgot to think about the rest of it!)
also, in following the crowd to Bloglovin’, I ended up making a
facebook page for sea horse quilts. (the crazy lady who takes pictures of dolls in the park also gets kind of goofy happy when the SHQ facebook page gets “liked”… )
She's lovely!
ReplyDeleteMaggie is so pretty! I love her little boots and floppy Liberty ears. I'm impressed that you figured out how to knit the cape.
