One of my best friends just had a baby girl. I needed to find something special to give my friend’s daughter — something meaningful — something that would last a lifetime (hopefully). My friend is a school teacher and loves books. I wanted to find something along those lines, but I also wanted to sew her a gift. The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams popped in my mind. I figured I could sew a stuffed bunny to go along with the book. I set out to find the softest fabric and the cutest pattern. Vogue 7760 had a really cute, timeless pattern that happened to look similar to the book’s rabbit. Follow along as my Velveteen Rabbit takes a step closer to becoming a “real” rabbit.

Voilà, the finished rabbit.
Beth, I’m impressed. I assume this is for Brinkley’s baby. This will be her most special gift. Lucky little baby girl!
Love this! What a great gift!
Do you mind sharing what type of fabric you made this out of?
Thanks!
