✂️ Cutting the Bunny Pattern (x2)

  1. Prepare your fabric: Iron flat and fold it so the wrong sides are facing out.

  2. Trace your pattern: Use an erasable pen to trace the bunny shape twice or pin with pins.




  1. Cut out 2 pieces: These will be the front and back of your bunny.

🔁 You can even cut both layers at once for perfect symmetry!






🪡 Sewing the Bunny (Step-by-Step)

With your fabric bunny shapes ready, it's time to sew.

Step 1: Pin Together

  • Place the two bunny shapes wrong sides together.

  • Align the edges carefully.

  • Pin around the perimeter, leaving a 5 cm gap on one side (for stuffing later).



Step 2: Sew Around the Edges

You can use:

  • A narrow zigzag stitch if using a sewing machine

  • Or a blanket stitch or running stitch for hand sewing

🧵 TIP: Stitch about 0.5 cm from the edge for a neat look.

Don’t forget to leave that gap unsewn!





🧸 Stuffing and Closing the Gap

After sewing most of the bunny:





Fill with stuffing: Use small amounts at a time for even shaping.

 
 
 fill it to the fluffiness that suits you
 
 

🔑 Adding a Keychain Loop (Optional)

Want your bunny to hang from a backpack or keyring?

Step-by-Step:

  1. Fold your 10 cm x 4 cm strip lengthwise (right sides together).

  2. Sew along the edge to make a tube.

  3. Turn it right side out.



  1. Fold it into a loop and pin into the gap before closing.

  2. Stitch the gap closed, securing the loop in place.

🎁 You now have a soft, squishy bunny keychain!






🎨 Decorating Your Bunny

Time to add some personality!

  • Eyes & Mouth: Use embroidery floss or a fabric marker.

  • Nose: A tiny pink triangle of felt or a stitched “x”.
