Back Tack 3 - Leaving on a Jet Plane

Well my baby bunny for Back Tack 3 is completed, photographed, packaged and should be winging his way on a jet plane to the UK by this evening. Whew! At this point my BT3 buddy Helen from London Singapore Frankfurt needs to avert her eyes.

NO Peeking!

Well here's baby bunny, I used the Better Homes & Gardens magazine pattern because I have a bit of a soft spot for floppy bunnies. To keep his fighting weight down (posting heavy stuff overseas is *expensive*!) I made him a tiny 4 inches tall when seated which was very fiddly!

I scrapped version #1 which used cotton woven and was impossible to work with in that size and tried again using a lovely and soft hemp/organic cotton brushed fleece in a creamy white which has a little bit of stretch to it - ideal for turning and stuffing such petite limbs. He's stuffed with carded lambs wool and if you look carefully in the second picture you'll see a letter "H" for Helen stitched out under his nose *weg*. ;)

He has his 4 pink buttons (did I *mention* how much I like pink??? :P) on his paws and another heart shaped one on his tail and little pink ears. Baby bunny knows that it's rude to turn up without a gift for the hostess, and as our swap buddy is an aussie expat so he has packed some little aussie treats for her - some pretty pink Iced Vovos - to stay in theme of course. *lol*
