Stuffed animal repair: Recovering & cleaning Rosey the bunny

Rosey the Bunny

The second in the trio of cloth bodied bunnies is Rosey (who was actually the last to arrive at the hospital).  Rosey’s body wasn’t original.  It had been replaced in the past (years ago) but now she needed another makeover.  As you know, I don’t usually remove existing parts, so we (her family and I) agreed to recover her this time (after a quick spa to clean her up).

Here’s Rosey’s diagnosis photos:

She started with a spa, just like Daisy:

But then her people needed to choose a fabric.  The yellow wasn’t original, and they weren’t sure what was, so I sent a wide selection of patterned options in a similar texture for them to choose from:

They chose the blue calico at the top of the center photo, and recovering commenced.  Once her clothes were set, a question arose.  Should we recover her pawpads or leave them as a memory of her last wardrobe:

The decision was recovering and that was next.  Then she got her heart (old stuffing, new fabric):

And finally, she was closed up, plump and happy and ready to fly home:

She flew home to her family’s happy arms!
