Here is the short story written by Grace Walters, about Bluebell Rabbit, bringing her wonderful character to life.

All About Bluebell Rabbit. A short story about Bluebell...........

Bluebell Rabbit always her drinks through curly straws, hiccupping and giggling afterwards to make her friends laugh along. She will also insist to everyone she meets that skipping is the best way to travel anywhere. Pressing flowers and carefully sticky-taping them into albums is a fabulous way to spend the evening if you’re Bluebell, and she will probably be wearing her patterned apron, slightly smudged with whatever delicious creation she has just baked in the kitchen (even if half of the contents most likely spilled onto the tiled floor! Whoospie.)

Her voice is like a bubble of joy. Her outfits are carefully assembled every morning, lovingly laid out at the foot of her bed the evening before. She often accidentally rips a small hole in her adorable outfits – a product of her skipping habits and general clumsiness – but makes up for it with the small patches she stitches back in their place. Even though the stitches will be rough and she will doubtless rip them again soon enough, Bluebell’s love for all things whimsical means she hardly worries about the small things.

What clothes does Bluebell like to wear?

Bluebell is a delicate name but her character is quite hoppity and she needed an outfit that would suit that. So, shorts were the obvious answer to give her the ability to move around. She can of course wear any of the outfits from A Sewing Life as they have all been designed to be interchangeable between the characters.

Is Bluebell Rabbit easy to make?

Bluebell was designed to be machine sewn but if you do not know how to use a sewing machine you can hand sew her. All of the characters have moveable arms and legs but they are specially designed using buttons that are attached on the inside so that they are not seen. This gives the characters a really professional finish. The instructions are very thorough and have a colour photograph for every step of the process so that if you are a visual learner and need to see a picture, instead of lots of writing, we've got you covered.
