    The bunny slippers are so cute. The pattern looks like it would be easy to draw up on your own. I wonder what type of fabric they suggested using.

    I wonder if they recommended felt? Felt was a BIG item with crafters and sew-ists, back in that day.

    My grandmother made me an apron just like the one in the picture, I still have it. Hand stitches and all, I'll cherish it forever.

    That little one top center just cries out for ricrac, I think.
