This plush toy is bound to be a firm favourite with any child. The quirky ears and bow tie create a smart look and the movable limbs are particularly fun. Stuff well and use soft fur for a huggable feel. You could even use pastel colours and create an Easter bunny for a special holiday gift.
Make a Bunny Rabbit
Download the templates and print. Cut out one head piece, one centre head, one front body, one back body, two legs, four ears and two arms from fur fabric, following the direction of the fur as indicated. Reverse the templates and cut out one head, two legs, two arms, one front body and one back body also from fur. Cut out two middle ear pieces and two middle paw pieces from patterned fabric, then cut out two paw pieces from wool felt.
With right sides facing, pin the two back body pieces together at the point marked centre back and machine stitch together. Repeat for the front pieces, pinning at the centre front point. Pin the front and back pieces together and machine stitch. Turn out and stuff well until the body is nicely rounded. With right sides facing, pin two arm sections together and machine stitch, leaving a gap on the underside for stuffing. Sew the second arm together in the same way, and turn out. Stuff both until well rounded and sew up the gaps.
Pin and stitch the leg sections together with right sides facing, leaving a small gap on the underside for stuffing. Cover the back of a middle paw piece with fusible webbing. Fold over and press down a 5mm hem all the way around. Place the fabric
