Dionne’s Draught Excluder 2019 - Part 16

Finally I am on the last section of making the Rabbit’s Paws.

Simple Paws

The above photograph shows the Paws as they are now. As you can see that they are Curved. However they have all ended up with slightly different shapes. I decided that this simply will not do.

Start at Side

I have found some material and though not ideally what I would like it will have to do. Laying the Paw flat I start at the Leg End and secure the Thread. I will work from this point all the way around to the other side adding the material.

Fluffy Paw Edging

 

I couldn’t find any Furry material to go around the Paws. Therefore I have reluctantly had to use Fluffy Feathers. Henceforth I am now not making a Rabbit. It is an Easter Bunny!

Nice Fluffy Paws

I have finished making the Fluffy Paws. I have some Feathered material left so I am going to continue the theme with the Ears.

Crushed Fluff

I am starting at the Sides and making my way around the Ear with the material. One thing I did not mention when doing the Paws was the Stitch I was using to Sew the Fluffy material to the Paw.

I am using a simple Looping Stitch. I am not sure if there is a technical name for this. I am putting the needle through 1 Side and then repeating on the same Side. I have not used Blanket Stitch as this would Crush the Feathers even more.

Ear We Go

Once the Feathery material was added all the way around I began to De-Crush it. Using a needle I gently teased out the Crushed Feathers.

You can see the difference between the last two photographs. So Ear we go. Four Fluffy Paws and a Pair of Fluffy Ears for our Easter Bunny.
