Bunny in overalls

This tutorial contains instructions on how to make a bunny in overalls. The bunny can sit and stand with support. The paws are moving, they are on a thread mount. Sculpting is minimal, the tutorial describes it in detail. It won’t be difficult with such a huge number of detailed photos. However, this is optional and you may choose not to perform any sculpting at all. The overall is removable.
Carrots are not included in the instructions - these are decorative elements made of polymer clay.
