• Filling (lavender, rice, silica gel, sand, etc.)

Tools:

• Printed bunny pattern (do not scale)
• Sewing machine or needle and thread
• Fabric marker or pencil
• Scissors
• Iron
• Blunt tweezers or turning tool

Pattern Preparation

1. Print the bunny template on letter-size paper.
2. Ensure the print scale is set to 100% for accurate sizing.
3. Cut out the pattern piece neatly.

Cutting & Marking

1. Place two fabric pieces with the wrong sides facing up.
2. Trace the bunny shape onto one piece of fabric.
3. Mark a 1-inch opening along one side seam (important for turning and filling).
4. Align both fabric pieces with right sides together.

Sewing Instructions

1. Begin stitching at one end of the marked opening.
2. Sew along the traced line around the bunny shape.
3. Stop stitching at the other end of the opening—leave it unsewn.
4. Use a short stitch length for better control, especially around curves and ears.

Trimming & Clipping

1. Trim seam allowance:
   • Mini bunny: about ⅛ inch
   • Large bunny: about ⅜ inch
2. Carefully clip curves and notch rounded areas.
   • This prevents bulk and ensures smooth shaping after turning.
3. Avoid cutting into the stitching line.

Turning the Bunny

1. Use the 1-inch opening to turn the bunny right side out.
2. Insert blunt tweezers to gently pull out the ears one at a time.
3. Push out seams carefully to define the shape.
4. Take your time—ears are delicate.

Pressing

1. Lightly press the bunny with a warm iron.
2. Smooth out wrinkles and shape the edges neatly.

Face Decoration (Large Bunny Only)

1. Trace the face design onto fusible web.
2. Iron onto fabric (wrong side).
3. Embroider facial details before attaching.
4. Fuse the completed face onto the bunny front using an iron.

Filling the Sachet

1. Choose your desired filling:
   • Lavender → scented sachet
   • Rice/wheat → heat pack
   • Silica gel → moisture absorber
   • Sand → weight (paperweight/doorstop)
2. Make a paper funnel:
   • Roll the paper into a cone shape
   • Cut a small tip opening
3. Insert the funnel into the opening and fill carefully.
4. For bulkier fillings, use tweezers or fingers.

Closing the Opening

1. Fold seam allowance inward neatly.
2. Use a ladder stitch (invisible stitch) to close the gap.
3. Secure the thread and trim excess.

Shaping the Bunny

1. Shake the bunny gently so the filling settles at the base.
2. Wrap the thread around the base of the ears.
3. Pull tightly to gather and define the ear shape.
4. Knot securely.

Finishing Touch

1. Tie ribbon, lace, or yarn over the gathered ear section.
2. Adjust into a neat bow for decoration.

Helpful Tips

• Use cotton or linen fabric for the best structure and breathability.
• Sew slowly around curves for better accuracy.
• Keep seam allowance consistent to maintain symmetry.
• Do not overfill—leave enough space for shaping.
