Absolutely brilliant, thank you very much.
This project is adorable and seems somewhat do-able for a new sewer like me. I like how you placed the templates all together so it was easy to print out and cut/separate. Love the idea to use the bunny as a memory keepsake (writing on it for a special person.) Very creative and thanks for sharing!
I've just spent months looking for this to make for my neice!!!!!
This is perfect. Thank you so much :0)
My mother made bunnies like this for my sisters and me when we were children. We loved them and now I can make them too.
i love it,its...just so good and if you do it right then yer
This Pattern Is complete. It should fit edge to edge on a A4 sized paper. Some printers may require you to enlarge it to fit.
This pattern can also be reduced to make smaller bunny's.
awesome! really unic
still having a problem getting all the pattern on the page. I really want to make it but so far the arm length does not show, the rest I can quess.
I agree with the guest who agreed with GreenMonkey11's enthusiasm...except "kool" is spelled correctly...and guest's ellipses should NOT have spaces between them! :)
The bunny came out absolutely lovely, but the whole pattern isn't displayed fully here, which was a nuisance, also the craft took more like five hours not just over two. Just constructive feedback. xx
The craft was good, the bunny cute, but the pattern was hard to read and printing it properly was a hassle as the pattern does NOT fit the paper.
this was an awesome craft! My son and I made two one evening and now he and his little sister each sleep with one!
Fantastic bunny patterns, I've been looking on t'internet for hours. THANKS SO MUCH.
this pattern is an awsome one i reduced the size and used it for my baby, absolutle love it....

I share GreenMonkey11's enthusiastic and misspelled response of "kool," except with properly spaced ellipses . . .
