And being the bunny-loving girl that she is she decided to involve her bunny again. I suspect we'll have quite a few projects involving her bunny this year. Here he is. His name is Thumper. I think you've met him before and you'll probably see him again.
Poor Thumper puts up with a lot. Today he gets to put up with being costumed for Halloween. Yes, you read correctly. Maren decided to make a costume for him.
Just a simple costume.
Thumper will be Super Bunny!
Which means making a cape for him.
We have some more scraps of the dark blue satin hanging around that Maren used for the simple stuffed toy in a previous JSWA (which still needs to be finished, by the way). She brought the bunny in, measured him to see how long and wide his cape should be, cut a rectangle of fabric, then sewed one end of it closed to make a casing for some 1/4" elastic.
She then used a scrap of light blue satin to cut out a capital letter B which she glued to the cape using spray adhesive.
After that she put the elastic in and bunched the fabric in the center of the elastic and sewed it securely in place, then remeasured the elastic around Thumper's neck and stitched the elastic closed.
Voila! Super Bunny cape. As you can see from this picture I have devolved into one of THOSE homeschool moms who let their kids hang around all morning in their pajamas. *sigh*
I'm not sure how Thumper will react to wearing his costume. That remains to be seen. He isn't too thrilled about wearing his bunny walking harness (yes, you read that right). So I have my doubts that he'll tolerate his cape. Maybe if we distract him with enough carrots and other yummies.
