Today I share a simple fabric bunny pattern with you that
can be constructed from fabric remnants left over from other projects.
Materials:
- Fabric remnants
- Soft toy stuffing
- General sewing materials, buttons and ribbon
- Optional: A haemostat and a thick knitting needle are useful during the construction of the bunny.
- Bunny pattern (PDF)
Method:
- Download the pattern and copy the pattern pieces onto paper and cut out the individual pieces.
- Cut the following pieces from fabric. (The pattern includes a 0.5 cm seam allowance.) Head: Cut 2 (One reverse), Ears: Cut 4 (Two reverse), Body: Cut 2 (One reverse), Arms: Cut 4 (Two reverse), Legs: Cut 4 (Two reverse).
BushcraftZ 2015 - Ears: Place two ears right side together and sew along the
edge. Leave the short edge open. Turn right side out. Ensure that all seams are
pressed and sew top stitching around the edges. Repeat for the second ear.
BushcraftZ 2015 - Head: Mark the dart on each of the two head pieces as indicated on the pattern and sew the dart in place.
- Assemble the head: Fold the ears in half and place them
right side together either side of the dart of the front piece of the head.
Anchor the ears with a few stitches.
BushcraftZ 2015 - Place the two head pieces right side together and sew along the edges, leaving the neck opening open. Turn the head right side out. Use toy stuffing to stuff the head. Set aside.
- Arms: Place two arms right side together and sew along the edge. Leave the short edge open. Turn right side out. Repeat for the second arm. Insert a little stuffing into the hand. Use an iron to press the arms flat.
- Legs: Place two legs right side together and sew along the edge. Leave the short edge open. Turn right side out. Repeat for the second leg. Insert a little stuffing into the foot. Use an iron to press the legs flat.
- Body: Mark the two darts on each of the body pieces as
indicated on the pattern and sew the darts in place.
BushcraftZ 2015 - Assemble the body: Decide on the placement of the arms and legs. Place the arms and legs right side together on the front body piece and anchor with a few stitches. Place the two body pieces right side together. Sew along the edge. Leave a 5 cm opening on the one side. Turn the body right side out and stuff with toy stuffing. Close the opening by hand with invisible ladder stitching.
- Fold the outer raw edge of the neck inwards. Position the head onto the body and pin in place. Sew the head secure onto the body by hand.
- Embroider a face with embroidery cotton to complete the
bunny. Add a few buttons and a ribbon for decoration.
