TUTORIAL - The bunny doll

Hello everyone,

It's been a long time ... I finally got a space on this new blog and I suggest you sew this cute Easter themed item: the sweet soft bunny!

An endlessly customizable "bunny" doll ... Here is the tutorial & pattern ... It's up to you now! 

Material:

• a cloth of  35x35cm linen / cotton fabric 

to make the ears

• a cloth of 25x60cm fabric of your choice

to make the clothes of the doll 

• 1 snap button

• filling

with wadding or a ball of very thinly cut fabric 

• The pattern to download here >

Step 1 : cut the shapes

Print out the pattern and cut out the shapes for your bunny doll. You have now: 

• 1x head
• 2 x front of the body
• 1x back of the body 
• 4x ears 
• 2x front of the garment
• 1x back of the garment 

Step 2 : the head of the bunny 

Let's take care of the ears. Arrange each pair right sides together then sew and finally turn them over. 

Then place the ears on the head and sew. 

Step 3 : the body of the doll 

Pin right sides together the 2 pieces and sew all around leaving an opening on the side of the head and another along the body.

Notch the roundings and turn the piece over by the head. Flatten the shape well and mark with an iron.

Take your filling and fill the head first before closing it with a blind stitch.

Then fill an arm and sew as in the diagram below. Then the second arm and legs. It is necessary to make a stitch each time. End with the belly and close with a blind stitch.  Use a rod to push in the wadding properly, otherwise it's a bit of a hassle.
