Anything and everything wabbit welated.

Say hello to the Wabbits!

The Wabbits comprise "Little One" Amber and Hugo. They have their own Instagram account (thewabbits) which is literally 30 times more popular than my own account. They even got sent some socks from Happy Socks! Little One was adopted from Furry Friends Animal Rescue in Old Coulsdon, Surrey in November 2014 together with "Big One" Honey who … Continue reading Say hello to the Wabbits! →

Almost done! I went with the bright orange (thanks for helping, @jilianchieng )! Just need to make sure there’s no gaping, then sew top and bottom together then zip! Nothing I can do about the crotch flowers 🤷🏻‍♀️ this was almost a zero waste project, hardly any scraps left..

I haven’t posted any bunny content in a while, so here are some post raspberry smackies! Little One is still semi-disabled, she can’t get up on her own, and her posture is off, but once she’s helped up she manages and can walk with a bit of guidance! She’s managing quite well despite all this!

Hard to tell in artificial light, but now I’m feeling either the yellow or bright orange! The normal orange kinda blends in too much! Watcha think?

This is what happens when you can’t make decisions.. and I still can’t decide..

Help me decide on what colour binding to use for my cheongsam top!

Since I had the thread and jersey needle in I thought, why not! More undies! These #skrundies were recommended by Sarah @likesewamazing , I actually went with the #bunzies pattern for more butt coverage! Probably don’t need the high waist for everyday, but holy comfort, Batman! Sooo comfy! And fairly painless to make! You don’t even need any elastic! Will be making many more of these!

Done! Not perfect, but wearable! Getting the elastic length right is such a faff! Think it’s mostly ok apart from the back neckline being a bit loose, but it’s hardly going to fall off! Sized up two sizes at the top and it’s still kinda snug! But it’s not bad! 😁 #mncottesloe it’s quite cute put on, but I’ll spare you the photos for my non-sewing friends’ sake 😂 this #LibertyFabrics Scribbles recycled plastic fabric is fairly easy to maneuvre, but probably not as stretchy as others out there? Not sure, have nothing to compare with!

Ok this turned out much better than the top! I cut a size 8 at the legs and hips and graded to 6 at the waist, true to my size, but elongated the leg elastic by 1.25 inches! Also couldn’t be bothered to search for 1 inch wide swim elastic so used my normal 1cm one, and cut the waistband half the height! Turned out okay, but I’m guessing a wider waistband wouldn’t cut into your body so much 😂 also cut the elastic the same length as the waistband, worked out okay! Snug enough but you can breathe in it! Next version I’ll take some height off the back piece. #mncottesloe

It’s so cute but soooooo tight! I think it’s a combination of the elastic being 1cm and super sturdy and the fabric being not very stretchy, I can barely breathe in this thing 😂 and I can definitely see the appeal of the under boob band! When it’s this tight, it might pop right up above and I’d be an unintentional flasher! Think in this fabric I might need to size a couple of sizes up! In my excitement I forgot the lining pieces 🤷🏻‍♀️ also, how do people get the bands to lie flat? Is it just a matter of the type of elastic? 🧐 aw man.. maybe my 9 year old niece can wear this 😂 it’s so tiny! #mncottesloe hm.. also, I think I cut the fabric the wrong way aka not the stretchiest across 😂😂😂😂😂 gah! Weird, are swimsuit fabrics printed as panels? I cut assuming the selvedges were the sides as per normal, and the print I think goes that way too, but the stretch goes the other way! Halp.. also out of elastic, just ordered a ton of hemline brand woven and clear swim elastic to try out!

Making my Gorman gingham dreams come true today.. used the #winslowculottes elastic waist hack, since the sides and waist are straight, perfect for gingham! Omitted the waistband and just folded over the top (added 3 inches to the top of the leg pieces, also reduced the width as per @helens__closet ’s instructions on her blog )! A bit wide, but has to be so that I can get it on! Big bum problems, but so comfy! #myfabricgodmother
