I would make the stuffed topsy turvey bunny dolls for my nieces that took forever using very expensive fabric from Japan (stationed there at the time) and send back to the states. Years later I was at an auction and was so upset to find that one of them had made it to this auction all ruined. I knew it was mine for not only the fabric, the label on the back of the bunny, but I would hand paint a little heart on it. Needless to say, no more hand anything for them.
