Embroidered Rabbit and Bear

These were based on patterns in Australian magazines in the late 1990s.

For the rabbit I think I used a good many of the pattern's embroidery ideas, but instead of using a variety of colours I used shades of brown.

For the bear I used my own ideas of embroidery, and included some little tatted motifs which I embroidered over.

 The fabric that I used, an extremely fine needlecord type, was a bit flimsy for the purpose so I backed it with a layer of calico and embroidered and sewed through both, treating them as if they were one fabric.
