Still don't know what a signature bunny is???

Hi craftlady. I'm not sure, but googled it and came up with this for signature bunny.

Could be it?

shegrinch - brilliant ideas. Love the snowballs..............lol Might have a better attempt at a sock snowman this year and put these with it.
Only made two sock snowmen last year and they went down well but really needed the tubular socks so I'll try again.............oh eck..........more to add to me 'stuff to do' list:eek:

Evening all

Im looking for inspiration
Years ago my mum was going to throw out her wedding dress :eek: ..now I claimed it..im a sentimental old thing ..now there was no way I was ever going to fit into it..teeny tiny thing she was... it has been sat in a box forever -so Im considering making it into something for my mum ti have back-
but WHAT????
I haven't got a sewing machine - so will have to rely on hand sewing :eek: -now I can x stitch like a demon -but Im haven't hand sewn much....

So I'm open to ideas as to what I can make for her (I don't think she even realises I still have it :T ) -oh its a heavy brocade kind of fabric if that helps
the smaller pieces like the sleeves Im thinking of making a pin cushion and and needle/scissor holder (she x stitches too)
I also have fabric leftover from my bridesmaid dresses (mum made them ) so I can mix the 2 if need be..
Please feel free to come up with any suggestions -Im at a blank -apart from a cushion -which isn't that special is it :rolleyes:

would it work as a shrug/ pashmina type thing for your mum to wear with her gladrags?


in keeping with her hobbies, could you make her a case/bag or similar to store and organise all her craft bits?

Hi MRSMCAWBER

for anyone wanting a sewing machine netto often have them for £20 they had some a few days before xmas and some shops may still have some they do straight and zig zag stitches . They had them quite a few times in 2008 so may be worth keeping an eye out and not too much to spend in case you can't get on with one . hth someone

oh dear, i'm afraid that knitting might not be my thing, I did a row and a half last night and was already bored and exasperated (wouldn't have thought those two emotions could exsist side by side but they did last night!) I don't think I'll have the enthusism to keep going for long...
but on the plus side I did start on a valentine's card which is going well :-)
