In June this past Summer, an incredibly cute MMO that I had been enjoying closed its servers. ・°・(ノД｀)・°・  But, I enjoyed it heartily in the time that I played!

I’m a big fan of X-Legends’ games!!  Their artwork and character designs are sooo cuute, and they always have the most colorful and whimsical backgrounds and settings.  Spirit Tales was ESPECIALLY whimsical, because it was the ‘tiniest’ and cutest of their games, in terms of character design~

See?  It looked like this!

This is going to be a reeeeaaally image-heavy post, so I’m putting a cut here!!  Check out the rest of my memories (and my cute spicy red bunny character) below!

This past week, I sewed a pretty pink princess bunny plush for myself!  I really haven’t made a plush for myself in ages~
She is covered in glittery fabric (the pink inside her ears & the cupcake print for her dress are coated with glitter) and lots of lace, pretty trailing ribbons and pink flowers!

Here is the pattern I followed to make this, a reprint of a vintage sewing pattern!:

Simplicity 2595 Vintage Angel Bunny Plush Sewing Pattern

However, I did not follow the last steps of the pattern 100%…
I did my own thing for the bunny’s pinafore rather than using eyelet lace,
and I did not give her angel wings…

Now I shall share some process pics!

Laying out the pieces and just getting started~
These are all on white fabric, but you can see the pink ear piece
I already cut out on the left

Getting ready to start sewing is always so exciting!

–

Here is the bunny body mostly sewn up, but not stuffed yet!
LOOK AT THIS DUMB DEFLATED BUNNY I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

–

The bunny is looking slightly less dumb but its arms are still unstuffed
and it looks SO DOOFY.  I put extra weight into its butt and feet
with weighted stuffing pellets~
A plush Harvest Moon chick is helping to support it to sit up.

–

Here is the face embroidered with sweet pink eyes and ribbons and flowers
over her ears!  I think this is the first pic where you can actually tell
that the pink fabric is sparkly.

–

With the bunny’s body done, it’s time to make a cupcake dress!

–

There are soooo many small, meticulous stitches required to make clothes for plushes…
making those sleeves was super hard. ; ^;

–

The main dress is finished!  This bunny is a good model.
I also skipped several steps involving making a slip and petticoat netting
for under the dress.  That skirt is sooooo ruffly (it’s only slightly under
the amount of fabric I would use to make a skirt for myself!)
so I did not think the extra volume was needed.

–

More small, tedious sewing for the bodice of the pinafore.

–

At this point, I started straying from the pattern’s instructions and
started doing my own thing, adding lace and decorations where I liked~

–

And she is done!  Manymany hours went into this project,
but I’m so happy to have such a pretty, sparkly bunny princess
who is covered in cupcakes and ribbons and flowers.

–

I’m really happy with her!
If I wanted to, I could even make new dresses for her~
But, I think I will take a break from making tiny sleeve stitches for a while!

Pink Sakura Hanging Wind Chime Bell

Every time I see these chimes in anime, I think they are so simple and elegant!
This bell is decorated with pink cherry blossoms, and the tag hanging underneath
is a wish for “Spring.” 😀

Cute Bunny Incense Holder

Incense holders are not complicated tools – you only need that little hole
at the top to place your incense stick in, so the base can really
be shaped or painted like anything~
These tiny bunnies are so simply sweet, they are a subtle way
to add cuteness to your incense enjoying. c:

Japanese Home Incense Fragrances

And any incense accessory purchase is not complete without the incense itself!
There are a ton of pleasant aromas here~
Hyacinth, lavender, lilac, green tea, jasmine, rose, lily~
Of course, I would go for the one that’s packaged in pink.

Kawaii Round Bunny Keychain/Phone Strap

The ball chains on these kinds of toys mean they can be affixed to anything!
I usually loop accessories like this around the strap on my purse. c:
But anyway LOOK AT HOW CUTE AND ROUND THESE BUNNIES ARE!!

Pretty Pink Sakura Petal Chopstick Holder

These simple holders act as rests for you to place chopsticks on at the table.

Kawaii Holiday DIY – How to Sew a Cute Easter Bunny Dress(Zipper method) – Lolita fashion

Yumi King is a Youtuber who frequently posts DIY videos for making your wardrobe cute!  Turn annotations on if they are not showing up by default~

If I had to add anything, my advice would be to fold your edges under TWICE if you try this out yourself, rather than just once as shown sometimes in the videos, and backstitch at the beginning and end of sewing every line as well. n_n

Because feet should be feared.

Flower Cake Princess Sandals

Look at this.  I wouldn’t be able to walk in this, and I don’t mean from clumsiness.
I mean these are works of art, and you do not walk in them for the same reason
you do not walk in antique porcelain teacups.

They come in more colors that you can see through the link –
a lovely antique ivory and robin’s egg blue.

BUNNY HEELS

Those are bunnies.
As heels.  On shoes.
Pink bunnies on polka dot shoes.
All of humanity has led up to this.

Woodland Deer Heels

If bunny heels weren’t enough, here is a woodland deer variation.
The other colors for this one are REALLY cute, it was hard
to narrow it down to just one to show off here,
but pink always prevails.

–

Bunny Pumps

Speaking of bunny heels, here’s another variation of the same theme.
Comes in black and white as well.

Rose & Sequin Wedge Sandals

Roses on toeses always look himegyaru to me~
The sequins on the wedges give this one some extra flashy color.
