Finishing:
Stuff head and body before closing. Do not stuff arms or legs. Sew arms, legs, ears, and head onto body. For the face i cut out a small'rounded' triangle shape and embroidered the nose and mouth on. oh, and the whiskers. I glued on the google eyes. For the head, I sewed it on so that the starting '6 sc in ring' was pointing up some so it would look like the bunny was looking up at me!! Have fun!!!!
