I didn't know about the tissue paper trick yet when I did the ears, and they are easier to do than the little foot pads....... I pinned only in the seam allowance so that even if there were pin pricks that did show... they would not be visible when I turned the ear right side out.
Then I learned about the tissue paper trick. Use tissue paper against the good side when stitching it to the other fabric... this is by hand for me when I am doing foot pads. I just can't seem to do them by machine yet..... then after turning, just tear it away.. et voila! you have a pristine piece of fabric. Worked like a charm. Thanks Richy.....
The brocade pieces survived intact...not a pick mark or hole anywhere..... and I now have a pretty pink bunny.

Oh I love that rabbit. She (not he???) is darling! Good trick about the tissue paper.
Glad that you like your award...it is pretty and it's true and you deserve awards since it snowed yesterday.
I see that you were having the same trouble with Lovella's advice that I was, but I think from the looks of her rhubarb that she prolly knows what she's talking about!
Hello ... first time visit, I found you over on Vee's blog.
Your home made bunny is so charming.
Nice to meet you!
How Sweet Vee ! I love these bunnies with the ear and foot pad fabrics. I am NOT that talented with needle and thread. You are so talented!
