Someone Is Learning to Sew

Check this out! Can you believe that this adorable bunny was made by Kid No 1?

She’s learning to hand sew and she made the whole thing by herself. I may have helped just a little with the face. She’s only seven, after all.

It was a homework assignment. All the kids in her class had to bring something homemade to school for a gift exchange. This was what she made.

There was no pattern, and it was made of scraps of polar fleece leftover from the mittens I made earlier this winter. The bunny is quite small, only about 10 cm (about 4 inches) tall, including the ears.

Kid No 1 was so happy, that she made another for herself, right afterwards. I’m so proud of her!
