Instructions:
Picture 1First up cut out your ears from your cotton print fabricPlace on top of a piece of chenille and pin right sides togetherSew around each ear with a 1/8 inch seam, remember to reduce your stitch length and leave the bottomopen for turningPicture 2Trim around ears and turn thruPut a little bit of stuffing in each ear remember to fill right to the bottom otherwise the ears will be veryfloppyPicture 3Sew curved lines on the centre of each ear to help them bendPicture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3Picture 4a & 4bFor something a bit different and for the ears to make a crinkly noise when baby is playing with them Iplaced 2 layers of cellophane on top of the fabric before stitching around them. I found I needed to use anew needle on my machine and they were a little more difficult to turn thru. I still stuffed the ears and thecellophane also made them more ridged so they don’t flop around as much. I don’t know how these willgo in the wash yet.Picture 4a Picture 4bPicture 5a & 5b
Cut out a circle from the chenille and a rectangle for the body 7 inches by 3.5 inchesPlace the scrap of tearaway onto the wrong side of the cotton print fabric underneath the position of thetail. Place the tail in the centre of the fabric and approximately 3/4 inch from the bottom edge and sewthe bunny’s tail onto the right side of the fabric using zigzag stitch.
Tip: To make a nice curve on the tail, when you are sewing around the circle stop when the stitch is onthe outside of the circle and leave the needle in the down position before turning your fabric. Refer to the diagram on the pattern
Picture 5a Picture 5bPicture 6Cut out the body from the chenille fabric. I trimmed the fluffy bits around the face slightly beforeembroidering each face. Use the pattern as a guide for the eyes, ears and nose.Picture 6No Picture (sorry I forgot)Optional cut out a pocket 5 inches x 3 1/2 inches.Fold in half so it measures 2 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches(You can just see a glimpse of a red spotty pocket in Picture 7)Sandwich the pocket in between each body piece.
