Special Note from Leah Day: Ms. Bunny is based on a real rabbit doll I was given for Christmas in 1987. That doll immediately became my best friend, the stuffed toy I couldn't fall asleep without.

Unfortunately I lost the original Ms. Bunny on a camping trip when I was around 7 years old. That loss was devastating, but I'm so happy to have been able to bring her back to life in the story of Mally the Maker and give her an amazing, adventurous life.

Designing this pattern was also an adventure as I was trying to recreate a doll I hadn't held in 25 years. I absolutely love how this turned out and how much I learned about doll and dress making along the way. I hope you make many Ms. Bunny dolls and share them with all the children in your life.
