A Personal Story Behind This Bunny Pattern

This Ms Bunny pattern holds special meaning – it's my rebirth of a beloved rabbit doll I received for Christmas in 1987. That little bunny became my constant companion and source of comfort until she was tragically lost on a camping trip.

Thirty years later, while writing the book Mally the Maker and the Queen in the Quilt, I knew I had to bring Ms. Bunny back to life. Designing this bunny rabbit pattern became an adventure in itself – recreating a cherished friend from memory and learning new doll-making techniques along the way.

The result? A sewing pattern for a rabbit that captures all the love and comfort of that original bunny doll while teaching valuable sewing skills.
