Thank you so much Sue but I've just had a look and have found a pattern )t'

I'll see if I can make one worth raffling & maybe Taz or Bluebelle could arrange it for 'Fresh Start for Hens'??

Willow,Do you remember the dolls that you used to get with two outfits which showed when you turned her upside down?(I know what i mean :oops: )Something like that with a "rags to riches"" Cinderella" type theme would be sweet .Maybe a bit complicated though?I have my thinking cap on :? !

Hi Tina -

THAT would be a lovely idea. I love the rag rabbits they are beautiful and I really like the chicken as well.

OOooh, I wish I was clever enough to make them.

Mmmm good idea but itcould be a touch difficult to balance her on 'either' head :-D perhaps two hand in hand, one before & one 'after' ?
I'm going to dig through my big 'bits of material' bag to see what I've got x

I've been rooting out the toys in the loft for grandson, and found a Red Riding Hood, The othe end is Granny, and if you take off Grannie's mob cap and turn her round, it's the wolf wearing grannie's dress

Aww thanks, but they're such a pain in the bum to make (maybe its just me being fussy) that making them for 'sale' really isnt an option - but - If you're interested I can pm you the info on the little book that the patterns (easy peasey to follow) come from... >mmm< the book also has patterns for the chickens and geese..

I've now got to make an extra special wedding wabbit bride and groom for my son and future daughter in law, she'd like them as decorations for the wedding cake table..
